Build security skills that hold up in real environments.

You’ll learn how to profile targets responsibly by mapping domains, subdomains, IP ranges, exposed services, and third-party dependencies. The focus is on prioritization—finding what matters most, reducing noise, and building a repeatable workflow. You’ll also learn how to document findings in a clear, evidence-based format so stakeholders can quickly understand risk and next steps.

You’ll build solid coverage across authentication, session handling, access control, input validation, and business logic risks. Instead of just “finding bugs,” you’ll learn how to verify impact, reproduce reliably, and communicate risk. The goal is to think like both an attacker and a defender—so your testing results translate into actionable fixes and measurable security improvements.

You’ll learn how identity becomes the new perimeter: least privilege, role design, segmentation thinking, and secure onboarding/offboarding. We cover common failure patterns—over-permissioned accounts, weak MFA adoption, poor secrets handling—and how to correct them with practical controls. You’ll also learn how to explain access risk clearly without technical overload.

You’ll understand how attackers move inside networks and how defenders reduce that movement using sensible segmentation, hardened baselines, and secure configuration. The focus is practical: reducing exposed services, improving logging, enforcing patch hygiene, and limiting lateral movement. You’ll learn to create a “hardening plan” that is realistic, staged, and easy for IT teams to adopt.

You’ll learn key misconfiguration patterns that cause real incidents: over-broad IAM roles, public storage, exposed management ports, and weak key management. Then you’ll learn practical fixes—least privilege, secure defaults, guardrails, and monitoring. The goal is clarity: you should be able to explain cloud risk, demonstrate evidence, and propose remediation that fits the environment.

You’ll learn how to identify assets, trust boundaries, threats, and abuse cases—then translate them into security requirements. Instead of guessing controls, you’ll develop a structured approach that helps teams prioritize. You’ll also learn how to write lightweight threat models that engineers actually use—simple diagrams, clear assumptions, and crisp mitigation choices that reduce risk without blocking delivery.

You’ll learn what to log, why it matters, and how detections are built from real telemetry. The focus is practical: identifying high-value data sources, creating reliable alerts, and reducing false positives. You’ll also learn how to tune detections using real scenarios, and how to communicate detection coverage in a way that leadership can understand.

You’ll learn how to handle incidents step-by-step: triage, containment, evidence preservation, eradication, recovery, and post-incident learning. The goal is to stay calm and structured under pressure. You’ll also learn how to build runbooks, document timelines, and deliver a clean incident summary that explains what happened, what was impacted, and how recurrence is prevented.

You’ll learn how to organize vulnerabilities by exploitability, exposure, and business impact—then create remediation plans that teams can actually follow. We cover prioritization, exception handling, verification, and reporting. You’ll also learn how to keep the process sustainable: fewer meaningless scans, better ownership, clear SLAs, and metrics that reflect real security improvements rather than busy work.

You’ll learn how to prevent common security defects early: secure input handling, safer auth patterns, secure secrets workflows, and sane defaults. The focus is practical developer-friendly guidance: checklists, “before/after” patterns, and lightweight reviews that improve quality without slowing releases. You’ll also learn how to communicate security fixes in a constructive way that engineers welcome.

You’ll learn how governance and compliance connect to real controls: access reviews, logging, data handling, vendor risk, and incident response readiness. The goal is not “paper security”—it’s practical alignment. You’ll learn how to write clear policies, define scope, map controls to risk, and create evidence that auditors and leadership can understand without confusion.

You’ll learn how to write security output that looks professional: executive summaries, evidence, impact, remediation steps, and timelines. The focus is clarity—no unnecessary jargon. You’ll learn how to tailor reports for technical teams and leadership, and how to present findings so they lead to action. Great security work is invisible if it’s not communicated well—this fixes that.
