Don Murdoch helps defenders turn complex security principles into practical, repeatable architectures that hold up under real-world pressure. A Certified Instructor with the SANS Institute, he teaches SEC530: Defensible Security Architecture and Engineering – Implementing Zero Trust for the Hybrid Enterprise, guiding students to design resilient systems, strengthen detection, and communicate defense strategy with confidence.

Don was exceptional! His expertise, clarity, and enthusiasm made the course engaging and enjoyable.
Don is very knowledgeable and continued to do a very good job of incorporating his own experiences in the course as appropriate. I found this approach to be very beneficial.
His real world experience is mind-blowing. To take part in all the things he's done and all the investigations and setups he's worked on is impressive and it helps me understand the content that much more.
