As documented by Satpal Singh

I am an experienced IT infrastructure manager with a knack for accepting new challenges and opportunities. I always strive to upskill myself, keeping the changing dynamics of the industry in mind. With Simplilearn, I achieved my dream of getting into cybersecurity and managing both domains professionally.

The Journey

I completed my diploma and graduation in Computer Science and worked across many jobs. I started as an IT solutions Field engineer, followed by a desktop support engineer. I have also worked with TCS as an Operations executive. Later, I worked with BBC heart care as an Assistant IT Manager. During the lockdown period, I joined Kellton tech solutions ltd. as a lead system administrator. Finally, I joined Khanna Paper Mills-my current employer, as an IT infrastructure manager. As I was still completing my course, I achieved a hike in my salary as I easily applied skills learned in the cybersecurity course with Simplilearn.

The Challenge

I understood the importance of upskilling. I wanted to pursue something fruitful in the same domain. Cyber security was the best option. However, being a working professional, I couldn’t attend offline courses. I felt stuck in my career as my growth stagnated working in the same domain. It was time for me to explore something new.

Simplilearn Solution

As I researched for courses online, I came across Simplilearn’s Postgraduate program in cybersecurity. I went through the course curriculum and found it interesting and industry relevant. I enrolled for the course immediately after coming across positive reviews on Simplilearn. The course was highly interactive, with industry professionals tutoring with the best practices. The course taught me new skills like IDS firewalls, honeypots, cryptography OSI, etc. The course was like a breath of fresh air in my IT career journey. The best part was that I could pursue this course at my own pace. Direct interaction with the instructors and many doubt sessions gave me the required clarity.

The course provided me with the push that I needed in my career. After the results achieved through this course, my appetite for upskilling myself even more, has gone up. I look forward to enrolling in more courses with Simplilearn.
