Top SchoolChris Simpson is a cybersecurity and academic leader who helps SaaS and fintech organizations deploy secure, research-driven AI systems at scale. As Director of the National University Center for Cybersecurity and a Professor of Practice with 11+ years of experience, he blends DoD and military operational rigor with commercial consulting and curriculum development to turn ad-hoc AI experiments into governed, auditable deployments. He built a Bachelor of Science cybersecurity program from zero to 400+ students, led NSA/DHS CAE-CD designation efforts, and directs a distributed faculty team while managing DoD-funded research programs. CISSP and GPEN-certified, Chris translates cutting-edge AI safety and risk modeling into practical frameworks—most notably a 6-week Secure AI Deployment Framework—that reduce organizational exposure and enable compliant adoption. His background securing mission-critical military and federal systems informs a systems-oriented approach that prioritizes defensible architectures, workflow guardrails, and measurable cyber readiness.
