About

Associate Professor Dr. Manmeet MAHINDERJIT SINGH is a Cybersecurity Educator and Researcher at the School of Computer Sciences, University Sains Malaysia (USM). She graduated from The University of Queensland, Australia in 2012 with a PhD Degree in Data Security. She obtained her M.Sc and B.Sc degrees in the field of Computer Science and specialising in Security and Distributed Systems. Before joining the academic field, she has vast experience in the computer/laptop hardware and software services industry. Presently, Dr Manmeet’s expertises are in Information Security, Threat Intelligences, Data Security, Digital Risks, Smart devices Security (IoT and Mobile Security) and Cybersecurity Prevention and Detections Solutions. She has an interest in Cyber-Criminology and  Sensor Networks. She also has an interest in the applicability of Smart devices technologies such as connected devices in Smart Home, Smart city, wearable devices and Brings Your Own Devices (BYOD) models. Her zeal in these areas is well demonstrated in her research projects and grants, lecturing/tutoring courses and consultancy/training. She has taught in areas such as Computer Programming, Computational Thinking for STEM, Information Security (e.g., Emerging technologies security, Big Data Security and Information Security for Managers) and Internet of Things hands-on (e.g., Motorola-WICOM boards, Raspberry Pi and MEMS sensors).  In addition to teaching and research supervision, she has published extensively in the areas of her specialisations and research interests. She has been awarded several innovations and academic awards. Among the awards are being nominated as Top 10 Women In Security Malaysia 2020 and 2022, Gold medalist won at ITEX 2020,  Korea Academic Innovation, Innovation Award for Penang Science, Research Excellences Service ( USM - 2016 & 2019). Manmeet had also chaired CISO 2024 and CISO 2023 Kuala Lumpur, invited speakers and panel moderator for several forum sessions. She was also appointed as a judge for CISO Award by IDG Singapore for 2021, 2022 and 2023. Besides to her strong collaboration research efforts with both International cybersecurity researchers and governmental agency such as Cybersecurity Malaysia, she is also active as Executive Committee member in Australia Information Security Association (AISA) and has been appointed as mentor for Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) community organisations.
