Brian M. Gant

As a highly respected expert in his field, Dr. Gant has given presentations to both government and private industry leaders, participated in cyber research, and analyzed real-world case studies concerning cybersecurity issues. However, his greatest passion is his students, because he believes in the power of access and education to better their lives, especially underserved populations, of which he is a representative.

During his time at Maryville, Dr. Gant has served as an advisor to the Men of Color Brotherhood (MOC), Maryville Cyber Association (MCA), and board member of the Athletics Advisory Council.

“As an alumnus of Maryville and now faculty member, I have been drawn to the commitment of student-first-led instruction and activities. When you have a degree from Maryville on your resume, it holds weight in the cybersecurity field, because we partner with industry leaders on practical application.”
