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, IÂ was bestowed the highly prestigious AWS Shield SME award due to the anti-DDoS expertise IÂ gained over the past two years while protecting customers from distributed denial of service attacks.
In my spare time, IÂ 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.
