CO-FOUNDER
Dwayne Roberts
As a child growing up in Gary, Indiana, Dwayne had no career or professional aspirations beyond graduating high school. The summer before his senior year, he received a compelling pamphlet in the mail about joining the military. Shortly thereafter he enlisted in the United States Air Force, Dwayne was stationed in Japan, earned an entry level role in cybersecurity and has never looked back.
Armed with an Associates degree in Information Systems Technology and several key industry certifications, Dwayne parlayed his expertise and determination into a rewarding 20 year career. His career in cybersecurity has been the foundation of much of his personal and professional development - and he’s excited about sharing this path with others.
Now, after more than 2 decades of advancing in his career as a cybersecurity and risk executive domestically and internationally, Dwayne knew that he was ready for something bigger. The day following his epiphany, Northwestern University School of Professional Studies contacted him about a role as a Cybersecurity Bootcamp instructor. In this role, his passion for teaching, especially those from untraditional and underrepresented backgrounds was ignited. In his role as CEO of The Art of Cyber, Dwayne is responsible for the creation and implementation of The Art of Cyber’s vision and mission.
