Description
This is the Cybersecurity Generalist Certificate program spanning across 6 months. Below are some of the highlights:
- A six-month program for learners who want the broadest possible foundation before specializing, or a single complete credential covering the full breadth of what a modern security practitioner needs.
- Moves through host and network fundamentals, Linux and Windows security, AI-augmented scripting and automation, threat intelligence, and cloud security.
- No prerequisites — start with zero prior security experience and finish able to reason about networks, harden systems, automate basic tasks, interpret threat intelligence, and assess cloud misconfigurations.
- Right choice if you're not yet sure whether to specialize in offense, defense, or cloud/app security, or if your goal is a generalist security analyst, IT security, or junior consulting role where breadth matters more than depth.
Graduates leave with a branded certificate and a direct, frictionless path into any of our 4-month or 6-month specialist tracks.

FeaturedAI Security Foundations
This is a fast, 1-month primer for anyone who wants to understand how AI is reshaping both attack and defense before committing to a deeper specialization. Across four weekly modules, covers the current state of AI in cybersecurity from both offense and defense, the basics of LLM prompt-injection attacks, hands-on AI-copilot use for triage/recon, and a first look at AI governance frameworks like the NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act. Closes with a small mini project so learners have something tangible to show for a single month of study. Requires no prior AI or security background — the natural, lowest-commitment entry point into our entire AI track. Sets up a clean progression into either AI-Augmented Offensive Security or AI-Augmented Defensive Security, depending on specialization direction.
FeaturedOffensive Security & Exploitation Certificate
This is a 4-month offensive bundle for learners ready to move beyond the entry-level Offensive Security certificate into a deeper, more current attack-surface skillset. Extends the classic recon-to-network-pentest arc with a dedicated AI-Augmented Web, API & Mobile Application Security module, reflecting how real engagements now blend network exploitation with web/API attack paths. Moves from condensed foundations and networking through OSINT-driven reconnaissance, exploitation and privilege escalation, application security, and full network penetration testing with wireless attacks — with substantially more lab time Graduates are positioned for junior-to-mid penetration tester or red-team associate roles, with a direct progression path into the 6-month Offensive Security Specialist Certificate program.
AI Augmented SOC Certificate Program
This 6 month certificate program is the counterpart to our Offensive Security Specialist Program — a six-month, self-contained program for learners who already know they want to specialize in defensive operations. After a condensed foundations refresher and Windows/AD groundwork, moves through the full defensive workflow: SOC triage and case management, SIEM detection engineering with ATT&CK-mapped correlation rules, endpoint/XDR threat hunting, and full incident response with forensic artifact analysis. Every module is AI-copilot-driven, reflecting how real modern SOC teams actually triage, hunt, and investigate at scale rather than legacy manual-only workflows. Closes with a live, simulated blue-team engagement — learners respond to an active simulated intrusion and produce GRC-aligned incident documentation — giving a genuine portfolio artifact rather than just a certificate. Right choice if your target role is SOC analyst, detection engineer, threat hunter, or incident responder; mirrors the offensive diploma's rigor and capstone structure so both tracks carry equal weight with employers.
