Vijay Kumar Kasuba is a CISSP-certified Senior Program Manager with over 20 years of experience leading enterprise-scale technology programs in regulated, mission-critical environments. Based in Sacramento, California, he has spent the majority of his career delivering large-scale programs for State of California agencies — where he managed cross-functional teams, multi-million-dollar budgets, and complex security and compliance requirements affecting millions of residents.

Vijay holds an impressive portfolio of credentials including CISSP, PMP, Certified Scrum Master (CSM), PSM-I, and ITIL V3 Foundation — reflecting his rare ability to bridge deep cybersecurity knowledge with program management excellence. His hands-on experience spans security risk management, NIST SP 800-53 and FISMA compliance, SOC/NOC operations leadership, incident response, disaster recovery planning, vendor risk management, and secure SDLC — all applied in real-world, high-stakes government technology environments.

Having worked alongside state CISOs, federal auditors, and enterprise security teams, Vijay brings a practitioner's perspective to cybersecurity education — not just theory, but the judgment and decision-making frameworks that matter in the real world and on the CISSP exam.

He created this course to give serious CISSP candidates the rigorous, scenario-based practice he wished had been available during his own preparation.
