Hi, I'm Bisma Khan!

About Me

Who I am

I’m a passionate cybersecurity professional with a Master’s in Cyber Forensics and Security and a Bachelor’s in IT & Management from Illinois Tech. My background blends GRC, software security testing, and technical support — giving me both a detailed and well-rounded understanding of securing digital environments. Outside of security, I built and ran my own web design business, Khan’s Kreations, using technology to support meaningful causes and small businesses. I’m currently seeking full-time roles in cybersecurity where I can continue to learn, contribute, and grow. Let’s connect!
