Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Walter Hansen, a Digital Forensics Examiner. Before cybersecurity I served as a Navy musician, worked as a police officer, and spent years in nursing and healthcare leadership, so I know what it’s like to start over mid-career with real responsibilities at home. I made my own pivot, earned my CISSP, and later moved into digital forensics. The Pivot is the clear, structured path I wish I’d had.
