The team’s introductory meeting was efficient in garnering the requisite information for embarking on the project; they were able to achieve their fact-finding mission in only 30 minutes. This was indicative of what would follow. Soon thereafter, a 75-minute meeting with Meryn Kierney was sufficient for her to be able to complete her exhaustive 18-page report, “Personal Security Assessment”. Meryn was also so kind as to spend time with me regarding my principal near term interest and concern, which relates to the political book and its website; they are set to be published this summer. As with Meryn, the team’s broader 27-page report was professionally presented, exhaustive and clear. With these qualities, Malavan’s 90-minute discussion with me made it possible to understand the report to an extent that would have otherwise not been possible, given my utter lack of knowledge in the area. The team’s generousity went further. With respect to the book’s site, following a lengthy discussion about it, Malavan prepared a clear 2-page, 5-section guide with respect to how I could aim to achieve my goal of keeping the book’s site online internationally, should it be illegally taken down by political “interests,” whether in the U.S. or Canada. The detailed sections and the report’s conclusions are the result of genuine care, as this report does not even appear in the team’s online submission to Riipen. In conclusion, the team and its members were kind, thoughtful, professional and exhaustive in preparing the reports in a fashion that is, as much as possible, understandable for me and, certainly, for those who will work on my multiple sites (4) and related products in the future (book, financial, health.), including the essential improvements that must be made to my personal security. I sincerely thank Riipen and its members for having made this opportunity available to me, particularly given the critical role the efforts that Malavan’s team will have played in GAI’s future successes.

The Ignite team worked very cohesively with us and was able to put a great deliverable together that followed our project plan perfectly.

The ICT Ignite Program was an extremely valuable experience for our CXR SaaS Cybersecurity project. The team of five students assigned to us were eager to learn, proactive, and dedicated, making meaningful contributions to key areas such as policy development, security measures, compliance checklists, and risk assessment. Their enthusiasm and willingness to engage in discussions, ask insightful questions, and provide thoughtful recommendations greatly enriched our project. We truly appreciate the support and structure provided by the ICT Ignite Program, which allowed us to collaborate effectively with these talented individuals. This initiative not only helped advance our cybersecurity efforts but also provided the students with real-world experience in cybersecurity and compliance. We highly recommend this program to any organization looking to mentor and work with emerging cybersecurity talent.

It was a pleasure working with these students. It was a pleasure to see all of them to put in a very high level of attention to our business. They all collaborated extremely well and I could tell that they went above and beyond to ensure that the project came to completion. I appreciate all the effort that was put in by each of them.

I found working with the ICT Ignite Program Team very fruitful. The team demonstrated full understanding of the requirement of the project and undertook a very high quality research. The submitted report confirmed the team's understanding of the project, especially when explaining the report.

I want to take a moment to recognize and appreciate the outstanding work the team delivered on this project. Individually and collectively, you are a force to be reckoned with—proactive, driven, and highly skilled. Your dedication and professionalism were evident throughout. Each of you fully immersed yourselves in the project, ensuring it was completed on time and to an exceptional standard. Owen, your leadership and commitment to clear, meticulous communication kept the team aligned and efficient. Kornthip, your brilliance and expertise stood out effortlessly. You brought a unique perspective and unwavering confidence to the team, making a significant impact. Birender, you are the humble hero—consistently delivering excellent work with quiet determination. Yusuf, your strong presence and ability to take charge make you a leader in the making. Each of you showcased remarkable knowledge, talent, and the ability to perform under pressure and tight deadlines. It was truly a pleasure working with this team, and the team at TGT looks forward to hopefully collaborating with you all again in the future. Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

It was super easy to connect and manage our project with this Team. They produced high quality evaluation for our organization customized to our requests and planned uses.

Great work, thank you!

The ICT Ignite Cyber coordinators were professional and responsive throughout the project. They provided clear and thorough answers to all our questions, which helped us navigate through the project engagement phase.

From start to finish, the team showcased a level of professionalism and expertise that far exceeded our expectations. Their ability to communicate complex cybersecurity concepts in a clear and accessible manner was invaluable, ensuring that we could fully understand and implement their recommendations. The solutions provided demonstrated a deep understanding of cybersecurity best practices and were tailored specifically to our organization’s needs, both present and future. Their thoroughness and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the project, from identifying potential vulnerabilities to delivering proactive and actionable strategies. It was clear that the team approached each task with dedication and left no stone unturned in ensuring the success of the project. We were particularly impressed by the team’s ability to pivot when necessary, and meet deadlines consistently while maintaining a high standard of quality in their deliverables. Their commitment to excellence and collaborative approach greatly contributed to the understanding of how to integrate their recommendations with our internal processes. It was a pleasure working alongside such a motivated and adaptable group of individuals.

All communication during the project was conducted online. While the process functioned effectively, there was a lack of consistent engagement throughout the duration of the project. A mid-project check-in to address any questions or concerns would have been highly beneficial in ensuring alignment and progress. Such touchpoints would have provided a valuable opportunity to confirm that the project was on track and to address any potential challenges proactively.

Great Work!

The team demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and a solid understanding of business development principles. Their strategic insights and collaborative efforts significantly contributed to Wouessi Inc.'s growth trajectory. Excellent work!

This program is really good! I have nothing but great things to say about the program and the way it has been organized. The students have also been very diligent and hard working. Its been a tremendous experience and I suggest other companies to try out this program

Working with the team at ICT Ignite Cyber was easy and pleasant. I would work with them again.

The ICT Ignite program continues to evolve to provide more meaningful experiences for Learners and Organizational partners. The work completed by the current Team was outstanding, and will have great value to our organization for some time, while the administrators streamlined some of the administrative burdens compared to previous iterations of the program we have participated in.

The prospects were good. However, there was a miscommunication and the students apologized after one week of starting, stating they were reassigned to another project.

Amazing experience! Thanks for the support.

Great service. I recommend it to students and to companies like us. It's a win-win for all.

Thank you

This was a successful project and provided good information for us to tune and adjust our product plan.

The overall work flow is easy to understand. Reminder emails are sent promptly.

Program was organized very well and run smoothly. Thank you !

I had the pleasure of working with and I am thoroughly impressed by their performance. The team approached the project with professionalism, providing a thorough analysis of our system’s security gaps and delivering actionable recommendations. Their ability to communicate clearly and collaborate effectively ensured the success of the project. Additionally, they helped us create a comprehensive bank of over 100 security questions and answers that will greatly benefit our vendor management process. The quality of their work was consistently high, and they met all project objectives with dedication and expertise. This experience showcased the strength of the program, and I look forward to future collaborations.

Demonstrated strong adaptability and quick learning.

The machine learning implementation in the tricorder device was outstanding. The team’s ability to develop and train accurate models demonstrates a strong understanding of both the technical requirements and the real-world application of the device.

We had a positive experience with the learners, who were highly engaged and contributed positively to our mission.

great job

They were one of the best groups of folks we've partnered with! Shekib, Wendy, Nduka, Andy, and Faizan were super passionate, cheerful, and energetic and carried out their tasks with great prowess. The team also showcased great leadership skills and was brilliant at communicating and keeping us up-to-date with everything going on. We couldn't have asked for a better team to collaborate with!
