Top SchoolJames Habben is a cybersecurity and digital forensics leader with 11 years of experience guiding incident response, investigations, and security operations across enterprise and consulting environments. As President of ISSA-Orange County and former Managing Director at Arista Networks’ Awake Labs Security Services, he has built 24/7 SOC capabilities, developed rapid forensic automation tools, and turned services into strategic revenue drivers. He brings hands-on investigative experience from roles at AlixPartners and long-standing work with law enforcement as a Reserve Deputy Probation Officer applying digital forensics to live investigations. James blends technical depth—teaching and scripting forensic automation at Guidance Software—with executive program design and sales-aligned service growth.

Less obvious: he pairs courtroom-ready forensic rigor with a marketer’s sense for packaging services that win deals and scale.
