Elijah Baucom

Elijah Baucom is a digital security and privacy activist positioned at the intersection of tech and liberation. 

As the Director of the Citizen Clinic (a public interest cybersecurity clinic), Elijah trains students and partners with them to support civil society organizations that are often more vulnerable and prone to politically motivated attacks. Given the current prevailing monolithic culture in cybersecurity and IT, he is intentional in making the Clinic as accessible as possible to every student on campus, regardless of area of study or tech experience.

Elijah is the founder of Everyday Security, a company that provides enterprise-level Cyber, IT, and Business consulting and solutions to Everyday People and organizations that support them. This often includes social justice organizations, non-profits, co-ops, activists, and individuals.

He holds dual Master's degrees in Business Administration and Telecommunication Systems Management from Murray State University. His professional experience includes IT, Business, Cybersecurity and Management Consulting, Network Engineering, Systems Administration, Solutions Architecture, & Education.

Elijah is passionate about authentically connecting with people and co-creating spaces for them to grow, learn, and feel safe. He is devoted to Mental Health Advocacy, Social Justice, and teaching on the intersection of tech and liberation.
