Teaching

Real, working knowledge — for people the field usually skips

I help people without a technical background achieve real, working knowledge of AI and cybersecurity by teaching, speaking, and writing in plain language — in English and Spanish — because jargon shouldn't be the price of admission to safety.

Graduate course

Applied AI for Cybersecurity

UNLV · MS Cybersecurity program · designed and taught by Victor

I built this course because the convergence of AI and security was being taught as two separate subjects stapled together. It isn't. Students work through how AI systems are actually deployed inside organizations, where the real failure modes live, and how to evaluate a claim without needing to trust the person making it.

Graduate students arrive from very different starting points — some engineers, some analysts, some career changers. The course is deliberately built so that the person with the least background can still do the work, and the person with the most is still challenged by it.

  • How AI systems actually get deployed in the enterprise
  • Threat models that survive contact with real users
  • Evaluating vendor and model claims critically
  • Translating technical risk into decisions leaders can make

Workshops & briefings

Shorter formats for organizations and communities. Each one gets rebuilt around what the group actually does all day.

AI at work, without the risk theater

Whole-company or department teams

What your people are already doing with AI tools, what actually creates exposure, and the small number of habits worth enforcing.

The non-technical leader's briefing

Executives, boards, nonprofit leadership

Enough real understanding to ask better questions of your vendors and your own team — no acronyms required.

Community AI & cybersecurity basics

Public libraries, civic groups, families

The free public-library program I founded, delivered for adults with no technical background. Available in Spanish.

In the field

Teaching in Kenya

In 2025 I was invited by Alabaster International to teach AI and cybersecurity in rural communities across Kenya. The same plain-language approach I use in Las Vegas classrooms — strip the jargon, keep the rigor — held up in classrooms where students had never touched a formal cybersecurity curriculum. The photos above are from those sessions.

International reach

I am actively seeking more international speaking and teaching opportunities — especially in communities where the technical conversation usually arrives last.

Common questions about teaching and training

What organizers, program leads, and training managers ask before booking.

What does Victor Aldana teach?
Applied AI for Cybersecurity in UNLV's MS Cybersecurity graduate program, plus AI security training and AI security awareness workshops for organizations, public libraries, and community groups.
Do you deliver AI security awareness training for companies?
Yes. Workshops range from a whole-company AI security awareness session to an executive briefing, and each one is rebuilt around what the group actually does all day.
Are workshops available in Spanish?
Yes. All teaching formats are delivered in English or Spanish with the same rigor and warmth in either language.
Do you teach outside the United States?
Yes. In 2025 Victor taught AI and cybersecurity in rural communities across Kenya at the invitation of Alabaster International, and he is seeking further international teaching opportunities.
How do I bring a workshop to my team?
Email victor@undercomplicatethis.com with your audience, timeframe, and preferred language. Most engagements start with a short scoping conversation.

Jargon shouldn't be the price of admission to safety.

If a room leaves without something they can use tomorrow morning, the session failed — no matter how good the slides were.
