Hi, I’m Sriya, a cybersecurity professional with over eight years of hands-on industry experience and a strong passion for teaching. I currently work as a Senior Security Consultant at Best Buy, where I lead penetration testing efforts, mentor senior security engineers, and translate complex security risks into practical solutions. Teaching has always been a core part of my career. I’ve tutored more than 100 students since college and genuinely enjoy helping learners build confidence in cybersecurity concepts that often feel overwhelming at first.
I hold a Master’s degree in Cybersecurity and Information Systems Security, along with industry-recognized certifications including CISSP, OSCP+, CEH, and CHFI. I’ve also served as a Udemy course instructor, where I designed vulnerable labs and taught hands-on exploitation using Kali Linux. My background spans penetration testing, application security, malware analysis, digital forensics, and incident response, which allows me to teach not just theory, but how cybersecurity works in real-world environments.
My teaching style is patient, structured, and tailored to each student’s goals. Whether you’re a beginner exploring cybersecurity, preparing for certifications like CEH, OSCP, or CISSP, or looking for career guidance and interview prep, I focus on breaking down complex topics into clear, practical explanations. I aim to make learning engaging, approachable, and relevant, so students walk away not just understanding cybersecurity, but feeling confident applying it.
