One Path From "I Know Nothing" To Job Ready
Most people trying to learn security start with a hacking tool, get lost, and give up. This programme fixes the order. You start with how a network actually moves a packet, then Linux, then Windows, then the security principles that everything else rests on — and only then do you touch offensive tooling.
It runs as a live cohort of twenty, entirely online, so you get answered questions rather than a video library. The last four weeks are spent on portfolio projects: a network security assessment, a web application pentest with a written report, a working SOC with detections, and a forensic investigation.
Skills You Leave With
- Read and troubleshoot a network the way an analyst does — packets, ports, protocols and subnets.
- Work confidently in both Linux and Windows, including PowerShell and the event log.
- Apply the security fundamentals: CIA, AAA, least privilege, zero trust and risk.
- Run an authorised penetration test end to end and write the report that comes with it.
- Build a working SOC — collect logs, write detections, triage alerts and respond to an incident.
- Finish with four portfolio projects and a career plan targeting real Sri Lankan job roles.

"I had tried learning from free videos for a year and kept jumping between tools. Having it in the right order, with someone to ask, is what finally made it click."
