Synopsis

Cybersecurity programs across higher education struggle to recruit and retain qualified faculty despite strong demand and repeated hiring efforts. The challenge is not simply a shortage of talent but a misalignment between how institutions hire and how cybersecurity professionals decide to teach.

From Practitioner to Professor presents a strategic, leadership focused approach to building sustainable cybersecurity faculty models. Drawing on research, executive practice, and accreditation aligned frameworks, this book shows how institutions can redesign recruitment, onboarding, and retention systems to support instructional quality and long term stability.

Written for higher education leaders, human resources professionals, and academic administrators, this guide offers practical insight and tools to help institutions attract experienced practitioners, support their transition into teaching, and steward cybersecurity educator capacity as critical institutional infrastructure.
