I work as a cybersecurity consultant at MedCrypt. I help keep medical devices safe and make sure documents follow FDA rules. Before cybersecurity, I worked in healthcare as a pharmacy technician.

It gave me strong training in cybersecurity. After that, I had an internship at Becton Dickinson (BD), where I worked on keeping medical devices secure before and after they go to market. After my internship, I got a job at MedCrypt, where I help companies find and fix security problems, follow FDA rules, and make safer technology for patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Now, I am studying for my B.S. in Cybersecurity at Old Dominion University. I like using what I learn in school in my real job. I have experience with threat modeling, risk assessments, and following cybersecurity rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In the future, I want to keep working in healthcare cybersecurity and help make the world a safer place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Me Hello, my name is Zufan Abebe.
