About John
Few instructors combine real-world security operations center (SOC) leadership, curriculum design, and frontline defense experience like John Hubbard. As a Senior Instructor at the SANS Institute, author of SANS SEC450: SOC Analyst Training – Applied Skills for Cyber Defense Operations, and co-author of SANS LDR551: Building and Leading Security Operations Centers, John translates years of frontline SOC leadership into practical lessons students can immediately apply. His courses give participants more than technical knowledge—they build the skills and judgment that ensure professionals thrive in modern security operations.
