Human hacker, lover of OSINT and threat intelligence and a certified information security professional fluent in both English and C-suite - Georgia Turnham has worked across government, critical infrastructure and every other industry in between.
With experience staying up late and social engineering Chat GPT and AI models, spending time at the helm of standing up international cyber security capabilities, having certified (and more importantly real world experience across social engineering and cyber security incidents) Georgia has been across a range of security controls and been at the forefront of cyber attacks - taking the opportunity to leverage these to refine the organisations she works for and bolster their information security practices. Georgia has presented to groups including UN Working Groups on the importance of securing ourselves from emerging technologies, and immersed herself in the world of phishing, pretexting, social engineering and threat intelligence. Coupled with demonstrated experience leading the implementation of best practice frameworks, and previously being awarded the Rising Star Award in Cyber Security by AISA - Georgia loves sharing her insights into the threat landscape almost as much as she does enjoy throwing a ransomware tabletop at someone when she's having a tough day.
Georgia is an AWSN Mentor, and an advocate for mental health in the industry. She brings with her insights into all levels and facets of cyber security - from the technical details and tools to the most critical and fundamental component of the human factor. Leveraging this, she has effectively supported clients and teams identify and overcome challenges and achieve information security as best as possible. She uses her experience to offer practical and pragmatic approaches to fortifying your network - from the tools to the team.
