The tale of Victoria Demina is a testament to resilience in the face of extreme adversity. An academic in cybersecurity and data protection, her world was irrevocably altered when a missile attack turned her home to rubble (photo on the left). Dealing with the personal aftermath of a debilitating injury of breaking her neck and her husband's illness, Victoria had to navigate a path through uncertainty, danger, and despair.
Yet, amid the chaos, Victoria found an unexpected lifeline - her students' thirst for knowledge and her own unyielding spirit. Using a borrowed laptop, she continued her research and even published an conference article on the risks of Shadow IT. Despite her own personal and professional challenges, Victoria embodies the power of resilience and the indomitable spirit of human will, proving that even in the face of relentless adversity, the flame of knowledge can never be extinguished.
