Elijah Baucom

Elijah is a cybersecurity and privacy technologist, engineer, and activist positioned at the intersection of tech, humanity, liberation, and political education.

As the Director of the UC Berkeley Cybersecurity Clinic (a public interest cybersecurity clinic), Elijah teaches and trains students how to consult with and support social sector organizations that are often more susceptible to ideologically based 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 also the founder of Everyday Security, a company that provides cybersecurity, IT, and management consulting solutions to human rights defenders, movement based organizations, and the people they support. 

Elijah is passionate about mental health advocacy and authentically connecting with people and co-creating spaces for them to grow, learn, and feel safe.
