Why choose this course?

We built this program around one goal: getting you job-ready in cyber security, not just theory-ready. Every week is packed with real labs, real tools, and real scenarios that employers actually test you on.

100% Hands-On Learning

Every phase includes guided labs. You work on real tools like Wireshark, Splunk, Nmap, Kali Linux, and Python automation — not just slides and videos.

Structured for Beginners

Zero cyber security experience? No problem. We start from networking basics and progress step-by-step to ethical hacking, threat detection, and forensics.

Industry-Certified Instructors

Learn from CEH and OSCP-certified professionals who work in real security roles — not just academics. They know what the job actually demands.

Career & Job Support

Resume review, LinkedIn optimization, and interview prep are included. We connect graduates with local and remote job opportunities in IT security.

Who is this course for?

This program is designed for anyone who wants to enter the cyber security field — regardless of background. If you can use a computer and browse the web, you qualify.

100% Hands-On Learning

Every phase includes guided labs. You work on real tools like Wireshark, Splunk, Nmap, Kali Linux, and Python automation — not just slides and videos.

IT professionals wanting to specialise

Already working in IT support, networking, or software? This course adds a high-demand security layer to your skills, opening doors to higher-paying security-focused roles.

Career changers from non-IT backgrounds

Cyber security is one of the few tech fields where determination matters more than a CS degree. Our structured path takes you from zero to job-ready in just 12 weeks.

Business owners & managers

Understand how to protect your business from cyber threats. Learn what your IT team should be doing, how to assess risk, and what real security looks like in practice.

Full course curriculum — 5 phases

The curriculum is structured into five progressive phases, each building directly on the last. You graduate with both theoretical understanding and practical, lab-tested skills.

Phase 1

Networking & Security Foundations

Introduction to Cyber Security — what it is, why it matters, and where the industry is heading
Networking Fundamentals — IP addressing, subnetting, routing, and how data travels across networks
OSI Model & Protocol Security — understanding each layer and where attacks happen
Basic Web Concepts & Security Risks — HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, cookies, and common web threats
Core Security Concepts — CIA triad, authentication, encryption, and access control
Cyber Security Career Pathways — roles, certifications, salaries, and how to plan your career

Phase 2

Linux Fundamentals

Linux Basics & File System — navigating the OS that runs 90% of the world’s servers
File Management & Text Processing — grep, sed, awk, and working with data in the terminal
Users, Groups & Permissions — controlling who can access what, and how attackers exploit misconfigurations
Process & Service Management — monitoring running processes and detecting suspicious activity
Linux Networking Tools — netstat, ss, tcpdump, and diagnosing network issues from the command line
Log Analysis — reading system logs to find signs of compromise or unusual behavior

Phase 3

Security Operations Fundamentals

Security Monitoring & SIEM Basics — understanding Splunk, logs, alerts, and how SOC analysts think
Incident Response Fundamentals — the full incident lifecycle: detect, contain, eradicate, recover, report
Threats, Attacks & OSINT Basics — common attack techniques, reconnaissance, and attacker behavior
Scanning, Enumeration & Vulnerability Basics — using Nmap and identifying weaknesses before attackers do

Phase 4

Ethical Hacking Foundations

Web Security & OWASP Top 10 — understanding SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, broken auth, and how to defend against each
Vulnerability Reporting & Documentation — writing professional findings reports, communicating risk to stakeholders

Phase 5

Automation, Frameworks & Capstone

Security Automation with Python & Bash — scripting repetitive tasks, building simple detection tools
Security Frameworks — MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, and how defenders use them in real operations
Guided Capstone Project — a full security incident simulation from detection through to final written report

Capstone project — real-world simulation

Your final weeks are dedicated to a guided security investigation. You receive a real-world scenario and work through it the same way a professional security analyst would on the job.

Security Incident Investigation Scenario

You are given access to logs from a simulated organisation that has experienced a security event. Your job is to investigate, analyse, document, and recommend — just as you would in a real SOC role.

What you do

  • Analyse provided server and network logs
  • Identify and trace suspicious behaviour
  • Recognise indicators of compromise (IOCs)
  • Map findings to MITRE ATT&CK framework
  • Write a formal incident summary report

What you submit

  • Structured incident summary report
  • Annotated analysis findings
  • Recommended remediation actions
  • Timeline of attacker behaviour
  • Presentation to instructors (optional)

Tools & technologies you'll work with

You won’t just read about these tools — you’ll use them in lab exercises built around realistic security scenarios. Employers look for hands-on familiarity, and you’ll have it.

Network Analysis

Wireshark — capture and inspect real network traffic Nmap — scan and enumerate hosts and services

SIEM & Monitoring

Splunk — search logs, build dashboards, detect anomalies and set up alerts

Operating Systems

Kali Linux — dedicated security distro with 600+ built-in tools Ubuntu & Windows — real-world lab environments

Scripting & Automation

Python — automate security tasks and build detection scripts Bash — command-line automation on Linux systems

Frameworks

MITRE ATT&CK — map attacker techniques to real-world tactics OWASP Top 10 — the standard for web application security

Methodology

Cyber Kill Chain — understand the full lifecycle of a cyber attack from recon to exfiltration
