Cybersecurity Awareness is designed to help everyday users understand how cyber attacks actually work—and how to stop them.

This course focuses on the human side of cybersecurity. Students will learn how attackers exploit trust, habits, and routine behavior through phishing, social engineering, weak passwords, unsafe browsing, and poor data handling practices.

Rather than memorizing technical jargon, learners will develop practical instincts:

• How to recognize suspicious emails and messages

• How to protect accounts, devices, and sensitive information

• How small actions can prevent large security incidents

This course is suitable for non-technical users, new employees, and anyone who interacts with email, cloud services, or company data. No prior cybersecurity knowledge is required.

This six-week course provides a deep dive into networking fundamentals aligned with the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) certification. Students learn how to design, configure, secure, and troubleshoot modern wired and wireless networks in both on-premises and cloud environments. Topics include the OSI model, IP addressing, routing and switching, VLANs, subnetting, wireless standards, and network security controls.

Objectives:

• Understand core networking concepts and topologies
• Configure routers, switches, and access points
• Implement network services and security protocols
• Monitor, document, and troubleshoot network performance
• Apply disaster recovery and high-availability concepts

Outcome:
Students will be able to build, manage, and secure enterprise-class networks and will be prepared for the CompTIA Network+ certification exam.

This six-week course builds a foundational understanding of cybersecurity principles based on the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) objectives.

This six-week course covers the architecture, deployment, and management of secure cloud environments as outlined in CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004). Students gain practical experience provisioning resources, automating cloud operations, implementing security controls, and troubleshooting performance issues across multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructures.

Objectives:

• Design resilient cloud architectures and network topologies
• Deploy virtual machines, containers, and storage solutions
• Manage cloud operations, scaling, and monitoring
• Apply identity, access, and encryption controls
• Automate resource management using Infrastructure as Code

Outcome:
Learners will gain operational competency in cloud management and readiness for the CompTIA Cloud+ certification exam.

This advanced six-week course aligns with CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) and focuses on proactive security monitoring, threat detection, and incident response. Students learn to analyze security data, assess vulnerabilities, and use SIEM and SOAR tools to mitigate threats.

Objectives:

• Detect and analyze indicators of compromise
• Conduct vulnerability scans and interpret results
• Perform incident response and threat hunting
• Communicate findings through reports and dashboards
• Apply automation and process improvement in SOC operations

Outcome:
Graduates will be able to protect and defend organizational assets and will be prepared for the CompTIA CySA+ certification exam.

Aligned with CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003), this six-week course provides hands-on instruction in offensive security and ethical hacking. Students learn how to assess vulnerabilities, exploit weaknesses, and document findings responsibly within a professional penetration testing framework.

Objectives:

• Plan and scope penetration tests ethically and legally
• Perform network, application, and wireless exploitation
• Conduct post-exploitation and pivoting
• Analyze findings and produce professional reports
• Recommend mitigation and remediation strategies

Outcome:
