Meet Doreen Mokoena, Internet Governance Coordinator at ZADNA

Digital Forensics, Criminal investigation, Policy and Regulations, Internet Governance, data privacy, and Cybersecurity are her passions.

South Africa has a shortage of Digital forensics professionals especially black women, this may be due to the fact that the industry is still harnessing the 'not so newly' field and it seems a bit clinical to some however with awareness and mentoring a staggering penetration will be witnessed that will come with equal opportunities for employment and development.

In five years, she would love to own a Digital forensics firm, she's been blessed with amazing mentors and industry respected roles models, would also like to take the lead and provide similar guidance and mentorship to other women and most importantly translate policies into handbooks for ease of reference as in when needed on the go.

With the increase in cyberbullying, the handbooks will cater to teenagers who need immediate relief and legal enlightenment in an event of victimization.
