Course Overview
This programme takes you from zero security knowledge to working like a junior analyst in a Security Operations Centre (SOC). You’ll learn how attacks happen, how to spot them in logs and network traffic, and how to respond, practicing every step in hands-on labs and finishing with a simulated breach.
Starts October 10th
Duration: 10 weeks · Self-paced lessons in the week, live classes at weekends, and a WhatsApp study group.
Learning Outcomes
