Your Instructor

My name is Nicholas Doropoulos and I have been working in the IT industry for more than five years. Having worked as a computer technician at a public school for a year, I entered the cyber security field in 2017.

Within a short period of time I worked my way up from 1st to 3rd line support as a Network Security Engineer, gaining a plethora of industry certifications along the way. In 2019, I was given the 'Check Point Checkmates Champion' status due to my contribution to the community forum of Check Point, one of the top firewall vendors.

Since February 2020, I have been working as a Cloud Security Engineer at Amazon Web Services where I have already been given the title of 'AWS Q+ Champion' due to the highly positive customer feedback received. In November 2021, I was bestowed the highly prestigious AWS Shield SME award due to the anti-DDoS expertise I gained over the past two years while protecting customers from distributed denial of service attacks.

In my spare time, I enjoy practising my OSINT skills by participating in Search Party CTFs for missing people and registering Google Dorks in Offensive Security's Google Hacking Database.
