About Jaden Rolling

Master’s in Cybersecurity | Threat Analysis | Risk Management | Former D1 Athlete I’m proud to share that I’ve officially completed my Master’s in Cybersecurity from Robert Morris University (Class of May 2025). My journey has been shaped by a deep passion for protecting digital systems, minimizing risk, and aligning cybersecurity strategies with real-world business goals. Academic Experience & Technical Skills My education provided me with a strong foundation in cybersecurity governance, risk analysis, cryptography, forensics, and emerging technologies like blockchain and cloud security. I’m currently pursuing my CompTIA Security+ certification to further strengthen my ability to secure and defend networks. Courses such as Defending and Securing Networks, Cybersecurity Risk Analysis & Management, and my Cybersecurity Capstone Project have sharpened my ability to assess threats, analyze network traffic, and implement strategic mitigation plans. Topics covered include: • Network Security, IDS/IPS, Honeypots, and Firewalls • Wireless Network Protection & Device Security • Vulnerability Management & Threat Modeling • Security Policy & Governance Frameworks • Incident Response & Digital Forensics Capstone Project – Risk Management & Threat Mitigation In my final project, I conducted a full-spectrum risk assessment for a simulated company with 250 employees and multiple cloud services. Key takeaways included: • Evaluating weak password policies and lack of MFA • Recommending SIEM solutions and structured change management • Communicating with stakeholders to promote a security-conscious culture • Applying industry frameworks to implement scalable, actionable strategies Professional Experience I’ve gained hands-on experience as an IT Help Desk Technician, supporting secure systems and resolving real-time technical issues for faculty and students. My earlier role as a Digital Strategist allowed me to develop marketing campaigns, improve operational efficiency, and engage diverse audiences. Leadership & Teamwork As a five-year collegiate football player at Villanova and Robert Morris University, I developed resilience, discipline, and leadership—helping lead RMU to its first winning season in a decade. I mentored teammates, balanced rigorous schedules, and thrived in high-pressure environments.
