About Us

Founder

Ajay Menendez

With 30 years of in depth business IT experience, a Psychology degree, a decade of cybersecurity experience and half a decade of cybersecurity education experience, Ajay brings together multiple perspectives from across the cyber security industry; These allow him to see from the point of view of a director who understands the pain points of a business, an engineer who is challenged daily by the ever changing threats and attack vectors we face, and from his cyber security students who bring fresh perspective to the industry as a whole.

"Ajay‘s innate leadership abilities, along with his depth of knowledge in the field, make him an asset to any organization. I found him to be insightful and conscientious as a manager. His ability to consistently navigate complex materials and processes is impressive."

"Ajay was a life saver for me in providing his time and resources so I could quickly learn cybersecurity. Ajay consistently went above and beyond whether it was jumping into a class to explain a lab or even take a teaching assignment for a new university launch. If you are looking for a cybersecurity "Swiss army knife" expert then Ajay is your person!"

"Ajay has been a director of mine, and an employee. In both contexts Ajay was a fantastic professional to work with (and for). His prowess in Security Education, Leadership, and CyberSecurity Analytics is profound. I would not hesitate to work for or with Ajay again in almost any context."
