Profile picture >> Discover Innovation -> Deliver Success


My name is Vitaly Ford. I am an Associate Professor at Arcadia University, Computer Science and Mathematics Department (profile link). I teach Computer Architecture, Data Structures and Algorithms, Operating Systems, Network Security, Introduction to Practical Security Assessment (aka pentesting), and Capstone courses.

Also, I am serving as the Director of Cybersecurity Research and Development at the National Cybersecurity Student Association and the Student Chapter Coordinator for the Women in Cybersecurity organization.


In the summer of 2023, I co-founded Citodex, Inc., as its CTO. We are developing a SaaS product for the specialty insurance sector to automate the processing and management of documents (policies, questionnaires, etc.) using a large language model.


In my spare time, I enjoy playing table tennis and chess as well as participating in Capture the Flag competitions and coaching student cybersecurity and programming teams.



Teach me and I will forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I’ll understand.
