Solid8 Technologies Champions the Future of Women in Cyber
Solid8 Technologies, a leading cybersecurity distributor in South Africa, is proud to support the next generation of IT professionals through its corporate social responsibility initiative. As part of its commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion in STEM, the company is sponsoring Ingrid Malatsi, an ambitious Information Technology student at Richfield Institute of Technology.
Ingrid’s academic journey is nothing short of inspiring. Over the past year, she has tackled a demanding curriculum, excelling in Information Systems, Internet Programming, Big Data and IoT, and Machine Learning. Her hard work and determination have paid off, earning her six distinctions across her courses. With a passion for technology and innovation, Ingrid aspires to specialize in Cybersecurity or Software Engineering and is already making waves as a rising star in the field.
With over 8 years of experience in the cybersecurity sector, Solid8 Technologies understands the importance of investing in future talent. The company is thrilled to support Ingrid, helping to ease the financial burden of her studies so she can focus entirely on her academic and professional growth.
“We are incredibly proud to support Ingrid on her journey. It’s deeply rewarding to know that financial constraints won’t stand in the way of her potential. Many talented students lose hope due to a lack of resources, but if we can help Ingrid achieve her dreams, we believe she will one day pay it forward and inspire the next generation of women in tech.” says Simone Santana, Founder and CEO of Solid8 Technologies.
When asked about the impact of this sponsorship, Ingrid shared, “This support is giving me the opportunity to pursue my dreams without fear. It allows me to stay focused and work harder towards a better future. I am determined to make the most of this opportunity and not let my sponsors down.”
Solid8 Technologies is proud to invest in South Africa’s IT industry by empowering exceptional students like Ingrid. The company firmly believes that her drive and talent will lead her to make a lasting impact on the tech world.
Looking ahead, we are excited to expand this initiative and will soon be opening sponsorship opportunities for an additional student. If you are passionate about Cybersecurity and in need of financial assistance, we encourage you to reach out and to follow us on LinkedIn.
