Cheryl Biswas is a Threat Intelligence Specialist at TD Bank in Toronto, Canada. She gained initial access to InfoSec through a helpdesk backdoor, pivoted into vendor and change management roles, then jumped a gap into privacy, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning. From there, she laterally moved into security audits and assessments. Her Political Science degree evolved into a passion for researching APTs, botnets, ransomware, and more. Actively engaged in the security community, Cheryl is a frequent conference speaker and volunteer, and mentors individuals new to the field. She is also an advocate for women and diversity in InfoSec as a founding member of The Diana Initiative [
