Cybersecurity Engineering Academy – Instructors and Leadership
Expert Online Cybersecurity Education & Supervision
Welcome to Expert Cybersecurity Instruction
Our Cybersecurity Engineering Academy instructors deliver foundational knowledge and practical insights using ISAUnited.org's Defensible Architecture and Engineering methodology. They provide online proctoring, assignment delivery, and education supervision through our Cyber Academy portal, ensuring each Cadet comprehends critical cybersecurity principles and standards, preparing them to address real-world cybersecurity challenges confidently. We are currently engaging with school districts to expand our offerings with on-premise classroom curriculum and training in the future.
Meet Our Instructors
Cybersecurity Architecture Instructor
​Our instructors lead Cadets through scenario-based cyber operations labs, teaching critical cybersecurity response strategies and foundational network defense techniques.
Cybersecurity Engineering Instructor
With extensive industry experience, our Senior Engineer introduces Cadets to cybersecurity engineering principles, ensuring foundational concepts are clearly understood and practically applied.
Our Methodology
Academy instructors guide Cadets through concept-based Cyber Labs, incorporating ISAUnited Defensible Architecture and Engineering methodologies such as Security-by-Design and Threat Modeling and Risk Assessment; Defensible Standards covering Network Security, Cloud Security, Application Security & DevSecOps, Identity and Access Management (IAM), Vulnerability Management, and Security Monitoring & Incident Response; and essential Cybersecurity Recommended Principles including Discover, Detect, Defend (3Ds), Principle of Least Privilege, Zero Trust Model, Continuous Monitoring, and Secure Configuration Practices.
Conceptual Cyber Labs (Phase 1)
In Phase 1, Cadets engage with:
​
-
Instructor-led scenario discussions
-
Real-world cybersecurity incident examples
-
Interactive foundational labs without complex tooling
Phase 2 (future phase, pending high school curriculum adoption) will involve detailed cybersecurity tool integration for practical, hands-on training.
Future Cybersecurity Tooling Partnerships
We plan strategic partnerships with industry-leading cybersecurity tool providers for future detailed training in Phase 2, enhancing Cadets' practical skills and real-world preparedness.
Continuous Professional Development
Academy instructors continually update their knowledge and skills, ensuring they remain industry-aligned and effectively prepared to educate future cybersecurity engineers.
