Nicholas Ridpath, an Applied Computing graduate with a concentration in Cybersecurity, was a pivotal part of Ennovar through 2023. Nick held many positions at Ennovar, allowing him to learn many different skills.

He worked at the IT Help Desk at Textron, as an R&D Developer for CSFRG, and as a Security Analyst at Spirit. Through these different roles, Nick says he “developed a lot of great connections at Ennovar, as well as hands-on experience that directly helped me transition into a full-time position out of school.”

Currently, Nick works in Kansas City, Missouri as a Level 2 Security Analyst for CYDERES. There, he monitors security events, analyzes and reviews raw log data, ensures day-to-day operational tasks are performed, and acts as a member of a security operations center. He also provides guidance for improvements in platform and internal processes by maintaining his current knowledge and understanding of the threat landscape.

Outside of work, Nick finds passion in fishing and golfing.
