From the vibrant chaos of primary school classrooms to the precision of secure code pipelines, Eleni’s career transformation is now complete.

In December 2025, Eleni proudly graduated from Cyberella’s intensive DevSecOps traineeship, emerging as a fully qualified Software Security / DevSecOps Consultant. What started as a bold career switch from teaching to cybersecurity has now led to real expertise in the tools and practices that help companies build and deliver secure software faster and at scale.

“The Cyberella program gave me real, everyday expertise I now use to help teams ship secure software fast. I learned to automate security in pipelines – catching issues early, fixing them quickly, and keeping releases on track. My AppSec toolkit grew with SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC scanning, and secret management, while hands-on cloud work on AWS & Azure taught me real-world best practices.”

Why Cyberella’s Structure Sets Graduates Up for Immediate Impact

Cyberella’s traineeship is a demanding 10-month program deliberately designed to equip participants with everything the market currently needs in DevSecOps and software security professionals.

It covers a wide range of stimulating topics (from foundational software engineering and cloud operations to advanced secure SDLC practices) in a logical, progressive flow that leaves no critical gaps. The variety of challenges, tools, and scenarios ensures graduates are versatile and ready for the diverse realities of modern development teams.

Successfully completing this intensive journey is no small feat. It clearly signals that a graduate possesses not just technical knowledge, but also the discipline, resilience, problem-solving ability, and learning agility that employers value most.

The Unique Edge: A Teacher’s Heart in a Security Role

Eleni didn’t leave her teaching skills behind; she elevated them. Years spent explaining complex ideas to young children honed an invaluable ability: breaking down intricate concepts into clear, digestible insights and fostering collaboration in diverse groups. These are exactly the transferable skills that shine in cybersecurity, where success depends on clear communication, patience, building trust across teams, and turning abstract risks into actionable steps.

She shares: “Today, I use that same clarity to bridge the gap between developers, security teams, and operations, by ensuring that security is a true enabler of innovation.”

Her approach transforms “shift left” into everyday reality: automated, transparent safeguards that protect without slowing momentum.
