Reetwika’s Dream:

 Reetwika Banerjee is a Cyber Security Expert by profession and Cyber Security Counsellor by passion. She dreams to become the face of women in security, representing India in the global spectrum.

Reetwika’s First Step Towards Achieving Her Dream:

Reetwika had been a keen follower of technology related news and current affairs since her childhood days. Towards the beginning of 2008, when Reetwika completed her graduation in Engineering, then the market leader of mobility solutions Nokia’s N-Series was slowly losing its global market share to Samsung’s Galaxy smartphone. Right then, Reetwika had foreseen the need of information security which was going to hit the world soon after the technology boom.

Thus, she decided to accomplish her Business Management degree in information system and security domain from a reputed International university so that by the time the world gets used to smartphones, she is ready to counsel the users about the technological abuses of these cutting edge gadgets.

Today it’s 2019. So, almost a decade back, Reetwika had grounded the first step towards achieving her dream to become the face of Indian women in security.

Reetwika’s Journey So Far…

The very meaning of mobile or cellphone got changed almost overnight with the introduction of smartphones and with it came along an array of cyber risks and threats.

Today Reetwika Banerjee is a known name in the Cyber Security space. She is a professional Cyber Security Expert with more than ten years’ experience in the domain, presently associated with a North American conglomerate as their Enterprise Data Privacy Consultant. Her principal role is to advocate their senior management on on hi-tech cybercrimes and provides solutions to avoid data leakages and cyber frauds.

Reetwika’s Message To All

A native of Kolkata, Reetwika stays in Bangalore to pursue her professional career. However, on a personal note, Reetwika owns a very socially empathetic heart. A die hard Bengali by soul, she is closely associated with couple of charitable societies of Bengal – a rural orphanage (Ram Krishna Ashram) and an urban spastic children home (Ashraya) where she plays a tiny part in making their lives look truly beautiful and honoured. Divinely blessed by St. Teresa of Calcutta in her childhood, she dreams to follow Mother’s preaching by heart and create a liberal India for all.

 Through the book ‘Cyber Security at your Fingertips’ Reetwika wants to share a loud and clear message to all technology users that all her counselling tips will go meaningless if users don’t own their acts in cyber space. So, it is extremely critical for everyone to choose only a handful of security measures suggested in this book and follow them diligently so as to enjoy a safe cyber life.
