Cyber Strength
After graduating from Excelsior University in 2023 with a master’s degree in cybersecurity, Jonathan Pichardo said his goal was to be at the forefront of the cyber age. He saw himself working as an advisor, helping people navigate the complexities of networks and software, as well as providing resources for those looking for answers. He’s now doing that in his full-time role at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory in Maryland, where he serves as a cyber operations technician and crew lead on the 169th Cyber Protection Team.
It’s been a busy couple of years for Pichardo, a native of the Bronx borough of New York City and a member of the Army National Guard. After completing his master’s degree, Pichardo attended the Warrant Officer Candidate Course at Fort Novosel (now Rucker), in Alabama. Upon completion of that course, he then applied for and attended the Warrant Officer Basic Course at the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence at Fort Gordon, in Georgia. He then successfully became a cyber operations technician. He was then assigned to the 169th Cyber Protection Team for the Maryland Army National Guard, where he now leads cyber defensive operations for state and national operations.
A Cybersecurity Degree Was Worth It
Excelsior graduate courses in cybersecurity helped prepare Pichardo for his role in leadership opportunity. Many of the courses fell within the curriculum and covered the requirements he needed to become a cybersecurity specialist. His Excelsior studies also prepared him to qualify for the necessary certifications. “[My studies] helped me to prepare for a lot of CompTIA certifications and … kept me on the right track. … It’s actually opened a lot of doors for me,” says Pichardo.
When he completed his schooling at Warrant Officer Candidate School in February 2025, Pichardo landed his current role as a cyber operations technician maintaining and monitoring defense and offense operations as well as network architecture and aiding in cyber operations planning. The position gives him the opportunity to hold various positions within the field and develop subject matter expertise.
Evolving to Face New Cyberthreats
Pichardo’s interest in cybersecurity also led him to attend the cybersecurity doctoral program at Capital Technology University. He’s working on a dissertation about implementing artificial intelligence within the cyber operations technician role and exploring how the Army can use AI in defensive and offensive operations and day-to-day technologies. For example, the Army now uses a private network instead of the commercial internet. With the integration of AI, accessing any military site on your home computer can be streamlined.
“The integration of AI and cyber operations is figuring out a way to make that process simple, secure, and efficient for everybody working at home,” Pichardo says. “The Army’s going to see a big, big change in security and vulnerability risk.”
To be ready for future challenges and opportunities, Pichardo wants to keep growing in the field of cybersecurity. “I want to continue teaching myself as much as I can. … [Cybersecurity] is constantly changing: new updates, new software, new integrations, new implementations.”
Deployments Spur Interest in Defensive Operations
It was his deployments to Kuwait and Iraq in 2019 that ignited Pichardo’s interest in cybersecurity. Assigned to air defense operations, he explored the intricate connections among air defense systems, computer systems, and configuration systems. The experience piqued his curiosity. “Doing the hands-on portion of it is what actually gave me a little interest, and I started looking into different career fields in the military,” he says.
It was during this time that Pichardo began his journey into higher education, and he discovered Excelsior University (then College). A military friend had told him about Excelsior’s flexible online courses and how the school understands the needs of military personnel. “You know, the staff, the faculty, the professors, they were all very military friendly. It was easier for me to start the [admissions] process based on [a friend] who had the prior experience,” Pichardo recalls.
Excelsior’s online format made his learning experience seamless, and he effectively managed his coursework alongside his military commitments. Pichardo earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice in November 2020 and a Master of Science in Cybersecurity in February 2023.
Pichardo has sometimes faced complex challenges on his career path. Attending Excelsior, pursuing Warrant Officer Candidate School, and studying for his doctoral program has sometimes meant putting friends and family on hold. With the help of mentors and scheduled chats and get-togethers with his loved ones, Pichardo has balanced the various demands in his life.
His determination has shown his family that anything is possible when you put your mind to it. Pichardo is the first member of his family to earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree, and he has inspired family members to pursue their education goals. His wife returned to school and recently completed a bachelor’s degree with Excelsior. Their son is also pursuing the ROTC program in high school. “[Earning my degrees has set] a foundation for my family and then the generations to come,” says Pichardo. “I feel like the completion of my degree, my studies, opened the whole landscape for me.”
Excelsior University kicks off 2025 Snacks for Students collection drive
ALBANY, N.Y. — Excelsior University has partnered with Albany High School and Troy High School for the fourth annual Snacks for Students collection drive. Led by Excelsior’s employee community engagement group, the initiative fights food insecurity in the classroom by collecting and donating healthy snacks to students each month of the 2025-26 school year. With the support of the Excelsior community, the community engagement group made the first Snacks for Students drop-off of approximately 600 items to the two schools.
During the last school year, Excelsior University’s Snacks for Students program supplied approximately 3,500 snacks over seven monthly deliveries to Albany and Troy High Schools. Driven by donations from Excelsior staff and faculty, Snacks for Students provides teachers with a variety of healthful items like granola bars, bottled water and fruit snacks to distribute as needed to help students focus on education instead of hunger.
Those interested in supporting the program may send donations directly to Excelsior for distribution via an Amazon Wishlist. Items can be set up using the “subscribe and save” feature for easy monthly contributions that are shipped directly to Excelsior’s mailroom. Community donations will also be collected through a fundraiser organized in collaboration with Paesan’s Pizza on Oct. 22. Paesan’s will donate 50% of that day’s proceeds from pick-up orders at their Guilderland location to Snacks for Students when diners mention Excelsior University or the Snacks for Students program. Organizations interested in donating to the program can email communications@excelsior.edu for more information.
“The Snacks for Students program provides more than nutrition—it’s about fostering relationships and supporting education,” said Excelsior University community engagement group co-chair Zachary Patterson. “Something as simple as a granola bar or bottle of water can create a connection between a teacher and student. We look forward to growing this initiative to serve more classrooms this year.”
“Snacks for Students exemplifies Excelsior University’s commitment to becoming a multicultural institution that actively promotes justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion,” said Daniel Pascoe Aguilar, founding director of the Center for Social Justice and chief diversity officer of Excelsior University. “This program is a meaningful way to extend that mission into the broader Capital Region community. We deeply appreciate the collaboration with Albany and Troy High Schools and thank the Excelsior and Capital Region communities for their continued support.”
Food insecurity is defined by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a lack of consistent access to enough food for every person in a household to live an active, healthy life. According to the USDA, children in 3.2 million U.S. households were food insecure in 2023. A survey conducted by nonprofit organization No Kid Hungry demonstrates that students struggling with food insecurity face significant barriers to academic success.
Snacks for Students deliveries will be made through June 2026.

What Is Phishing?
Phishing is a common cybercrime that involves tricking people to share passwords, credit card numbers, and/or personal details that criminals use to steal valuable data and assets and to gain control of systems to plant malware. Scammers know the best time to phish is when victims least expect it.
Here’s how phishing works: The criminal sends an email, text message, or social media message from what may look like a known and trusted sender, getting the target to accept it as legitimate, act fast, often without thinking, and share critical information. Once a cybercriminal breaks in, they can wreak havoc.
Losses can be massive. Accessing sensitive company systems can shut down operations and lead to the theft of assets, intellectual property, and valuable data. With such high stakes coupled with the wide variety and sheer volume of phishing attempts, the need for a comprehensive approach to thwarting this insidious form of cybercrime has never been greater.
What Are Some Phishing Techniques?
Phishing takes many forms, using techniques that are always adapting. Understanding the types and techniques of these cyberattacks is the first step in developing cybersecurity best practices for dealing with them.
Email/Spam
Email exploits are where most phishing attacks start. The target gets a message that appears to come from a source they know and trust, like a bank, online retailer, service provider, or even a co-worker. Emails may contain links to fake websites, or they may have malicious attachments that trick recipients into revealing vital information or inadvertently installing malware.
Spear Phishing
Spear fishing uses personalized messages to enhance the appearance of legitimacy. They may reference names, job titles, or recent events or transactions, all to increase the likelihood a recipient will take the bait and click.
Text (Smishing)
Smishing, using short message service (SMS) platforms to phish, exploits texts to trick targets with fake delivery notices, bank alerts, or prize notifications. All include links to fraudulent websites. People often respond to these urgent texts without thinking, opening their mobile devices to fraudsters.
Social Engineering
Social engineering uses manipulations that play on human nature instead of technical vulnerabilities. Attackers use phone calls, social media, or even face-to-face interactions to pose as a trusted figure with the goal of gaining access to systems, data, and financial assets.
Malware
Although some phishing attacks seek to directly steal data and assets, others are designed to install malicious software on systems to either hijack them, set up a long-term data theft exploit, or worm their way from one sensitive system to another. Malware comes in many forms.
Trojans
A Trojan is malware that looks like a legitimate application, document, or file. Once downloaded, it opens to let the cybercriminals run amok. Trojans can steal data, upload additional malware, install trackers, and give attackers full control of your device and sometimes the systems connected to it.
Keyloggers
These programs record every keystroke a user makes to capture usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, mothers’ maiden names, and other valuable information. They are a form of malware that comes from downloads, email attachments, or visiting infected websites.
Cybersecurity Techniques to Thwart Phishing
Stopping phishing attacks and protecting systems and data requires a combination of technology, training, and constant vigilance. The United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre prescribes four layers of mitigation:
Prevention
Stopping an attack before it starts is the best way to protect information and assets. Awareness of how attacks start can address the human element. Limiting the amount of personal information available on your site gives would-be attackers less material to use for social engineering. Technologies that filter emails, require multifactor authentication, and monitor domains can reduce the number of malicious email and texts that get into inboxes. Security tools at login locations or data transfers points can effectively thwart attacks. Tools that detect intrusions and anti-malware software can spot potential attacks as they happen.
Detection
The faster an attack is discovered, the sooner a response can be mounted, ideally limiting the damage caused. Employee training also plays a large role, helping users to not only keep from falling prey to cybercrime but also quickly report phishing attempts, whether failed or successful. Fostering a no-blame culture that encourages timely reporting is key.
Mitigation
It’s unrealistic to think you’ll prevent every cyberattack, so organizations also need a strategy for limiting the damage cybercriminals can do if the first line of defense fails. Isolating devices and systems attacked, revoking usernames and passwords, and blocking malicious websites can limit the damage. Adding layers of security throughout a system, such as multifactor authentication, password managers, and alternate forms of authentication like biometrics can also be effective.
Response
Acting as fast as possible to protect systems and data is the first priority. Getting systems back up and running and restoring uncorrupted data keeps organizations operating. Timely detection is key. Software can be used to monitor systems for breaches, but this is where your culture of reporting will pay dividends.
However, detection is just the beginning; you must also create an effective system for users to log reports. And your organization needs a well-rehearsed response plan in place to take timely action. An after-incident report will help the organization strengthen its defenses to prevent repeat attacks.
Join the Front Lines of Cyber Defense Against Phishing
Phishing is a gateway cybercrime—the open door to most major digital exploits. Cybercriminals are growing more sophisticated, powering the need for people with cybersecurity skills. A career in technology, specifically in cybersecurity, is one that pays off in plentiful jobs, interesting roles, and increasing pay. With a cybersecurity degree, you’ll find opportunities in business, government, and nonprofits, protecting them against evolving threats.
Excelsior University has been designated a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security, and it is home to the National Cybersecurity Institute. Excelsior’s Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity provides you with the skills and practical training to thrive and lead in the field as well as take certification exams like CEH or Security+. The BS in Cybersecurity program doesn’t just prepare you to deal with the threats facing our world today, like phishing; it prepares you to protect organizations from the cyberthreats yet to emerge, helping you take your place on the front lines of cyber defense.
