Todd Diakow

Cybersecurity Program Coordinator and Instructor, Abbotsford School District Careers Department

Todd is the Cybersecurity Program Coordinator and Instructor for the Abbotsford School District Careers Department. He also serves as the Chair of the High School Partnership Program on the ISACA Vancouver Board. With the ongoing labour shortage in the cybersecurity industry in British Columbia and globally, Palo Alto Networks partnered with a number of school districts in BC to promote cybersecurity among high school students, and to certify them with entry level certification, skills and knowledge. Todd has brought this program to fruition in Abbotsford and promotes high school cybersecurity across the province through his role with ISACA. He believes that we shouldn’t wait until students graduate high school, let alone post-secondary before we prepare them for a career in cybersecurity. Let’s work together to bring this about today.
