Welcome To
Advanced Cybersecurity Operations Track 2 –24 Weeks)
Before you dive into advanced security operations, malware analysis, or pentesting labs, you need a solid command of networking, operating systems, and core cybersecurity principles. That’s where Track 1 comes in.
🧠 What You’ll Learn
Once you’ve built a solid foundation in systems, networking, and core security tools, it’s time to go deeper—into live-fire simulations, adversarial tactics, real-time monitoring, and industry regulations.
🛡️ Track 2: Advanced Cybersecurity Operations (24 Weeks)
- How to analyze logs, detect anomalies, and respond to real-world attacks
- Deploy and tune SIEM systems like Splunk, Wazuh, and ELK
- Conduct ethical hacking with Kali Linux, Metasploit, and Burp Suite
- Reverse engineer malware in a sandboxed lab
- Write security scripts in Python, Bash, or PowerShell
- Understand global compliance frameworks: NIST, ISO 27001, GDPR, and more
Practical Skill Development through Experience
By the end, you’ll be equipped to:
✅ Analyze advanced threats and respond to incidents in real time
✅ Conduct internal vulnerability assessments and red team drills
✅ Build a GRC compliance roadmap or complete a SOC readiness checklist
✅ Sit for certifications like Security+, CEH, or Cisco CyberOps Associate
Explore New and Emerging Career Paths
Find your ideal career match with ease.
