Isaac Ojeh is a senior cybersecurity practitioner with 14+ years defending Tier-1 banks, national payments processors, and national academic CERTs. I currently serve as Senior Security Analyst at PayFacto, a national Canadian payments processor, where I lead the security operations aligned across CSA CCM, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, SOC 2, CIS Controls, and PCI DSS. Before PayFacto, I led CSIRT-IR at TD Bank Group, one of the Big 6 Canadian banks, and served in Estonia’s national academic CERT at TalTech.
I sit on 3 advisory bodies shaping credentials and content in this field: the GIAC Advisory Board, the EC-Council C|RAGE Beta Testing Committee, and the ISC2 Scholarship Reviewer Committee at the Center for Cyber Safety & Education. I hold 35+ industry certifications including GSTRT, GSLC, C|CISO, CISM, OSCP+, CSIE, GASF, GCFE, and PMP. I also hold various cybersecurity awards such as the SANS Lethal Forensicator and NCL Experienced Individual.
I contribute to the community as founding Chapter Lead of BSides Burlington, a community lead at ISC2 Toronto Chapter, Black Boys Code mentor, and Canada Ambassador for Blacks In Cybersecurity. I have authored 4 peer-reviewed papers at ICCWS, ECCWS, and ICAIR on Zero Trust, AI-driven cyber deception, and cyber-physical attribution, with a chapter forthcoming in Education in the AI Age (October 2026). My MICCMAC Zero Trust framework earned the rare SANS SEC530 Red Coin and is open-source at my GitHub repository.
I have a BSc. and MS. in cybersecurity, as well as an Executive MBA. I also taught as an adjunct at Conestoga and Fanshawe Colleges and with TCM Security.
