In order to design a new cybersecurity feature for a product development project, I worked with a young engineer who was keen to learn but had no prior experience with some of the sophisticated technologies we were utilising. I started by dividing the project into doable jobs and matching them with tasks that would help them gain confidence, including identifying particular vulnerabilities. In order to offer direction, respond to enquiries, and illustrate best practices, I also planned frequent check-ins. The junior engineer developed technical abilities and added a new viewpoint that improved our solution by creating a transparent and encouraging environment. The event demonstrated the importance of mentoring in fostering team and individual development.
