Dr. Muhammed Siraj is a cybersecurity specialist and academic with 15 years of experience, and as a Certified Ethical Hacker he brings genuine penetration testing practice to this CompTIA PenTest+ course. At Academic City University in Accra, Ghana, he serves as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Informatics and as Director of Graduate and Continuous Education. His academic training spans three countries: a degree from the University of Ghana, an MSc in Information and Communication Technology from Aalborg University in Denmark, and a PhD in Security in Computing from Universiti Putra Malaysia, where he researched blockchain security. Beyond the university, he is a licensed independent assessor with Ghana's Cyber Security Authority and holds leadership roles in national cybersecurity and privacy professional bodies. He is a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) and Certified Data Protection Supervisor (CDPS), and was formerly Acting Director of ICT and Data Protection Supervisor at Wisconsin International University College.
Penetration testing is one of Dr. Siraj's core specialisms, and he guides learners through the full engagement lifecycle examined in CompTIA PenTest+. He begins with planning and scoping, explaining rules of engagement, legal agreements and the ethical responsibilities that separate a professional tester from an attacker, points he reinforces through his work in cybersecurity policy and data protection. He then leads learners through information gathering and vulnerability scanning, attacks and exploits against networks, applications, cloud and mobile targets, and the analysis of tools and code, drawing on his expertise in vulnerability management, cloud security, mobile and endpoint security and secure software development. His experience as a Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator helps learners understand the traces their activity leaves, while his incident response background helps them write reports that defenders can act on, so that every test leads to real remediation. Having studied for his PhD at Universiti Putra Malaysia, he is pleased to work with Malaysian security professionals building their offensive testing skills.
Dr. Alfred Ang is a full-stack AI developer, agentic AI solution architect and the Chief Technology Officer of Tertiary Infotech Academy, where he leads the teams that build the academy's platforms and design its technology training. He brings the builder's perspective to PenTest+, helping learners understand how the systems they test are designed, deployed and defended. He is CompTIA Security+ certified and holds the Certificate in AI Ethics and Governance (Senior Professional) from NTU, together with AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified AI Practitioner and AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner credentials and the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) and Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) certifications. His experience spans system architecture, security, observability and performance optimisation, with a strong emphasis on real-world deployment. Academically, he holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the National University of Singapore, an MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU and a BSc (Hons) in Physics from NUS. Over more than 20 years he has worked in the defence, electronics and semiconductor industries, published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers, co-invented over 20 US patents and founded several technology businesses, including Tertiary Infotech Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia in 2016. Alongside hands-on engineering, he leads agentic AI adoption and digital transformation initiatives for enterprises, building conversational AI, autonomous agents and cloud-native platforms across AWS, Kubernetes and DevOps, with security and governance designed in from the outset. His teaching emphasises applied skills, ethical governance and sustainable adoption, translating complex technology into practical, industry-aligned learning for professionals and organisations.
Dr. Ang's contribution is the defender's and builder's view of a penetration test. He built a training environment platform that runs Docker-based WordPress, Ubuntu and Kali Linux labs in the browser with role-based access, OAuth, on-demand container start and stop and idle auto-shutdown, the kind of isolated range in which learners can practise scanning and exploitation safely and legally. His production work, including a franchise platform on Docker and Coolify across Singapore, Malaysia and Ghana, hardened Content-Security-Policy websites, a published secret-scanning skill and a credential-leak guard, shows learners what well-defended targets look like and which weaknesses testers most often find, such as exposed credentials, misconfigured containers and unsafe web code. In the Tools and Code Analysis topic he draws on his full-stack development experience to help learners read scripts, understand the code behind common exploits and recognise insecure patterns. He also stresses planning and scoping, rules of engagement and clear reporting, so that findings lead to fixes. His CompTIA Security+ certification gives him common ground with learners moving into offensive security, and he encourages them to practise only on authorised targets such as dedicated lab environments, reinforcing the legal and ethical boundaries that every professional penetration tester must respect throughout an engagement, from initial scoping to the final report. Learners are welcome to explore his lab platform and other projects on GitHub at https://github.com/alfredang and connect with him on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/angchewhoe/
Saeid is co-founder of Skymics Sdn Bhd. He has 8 years of experience in the field of IoT (Internet of Things) and Information Technology.
