The Complete Cybersecurity Curriculum — From Foundations to Red Team
Cybersecurity is the discipline of protecting systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, exploitation, and disruption. This track covers the full spectrum: from understanding how attacks work to actively hunting threats, auditing infrastructure, and running penetration tests against real targets. Seventy-six courses built for practitioners, not checkbox compliance.
What You Will Learn
You will start with networking fundamentals, password security, OPSEC, and common attack types, then advance through cryptography, PKI, Identity and Access Management, and SIEM log analysis. Offensive skills include reconnaissance and OSINT, exploitation with Metasploit, Burp Suite mastery, web application pentesting, and API security against the OWASP API Top 10. Defensive skills span Endpoint Detection and Response, threat intelligence, SOC analyst triage, Detection Engineering with Sigma, YARA rules for malware detection, and Security Automation with SOAR. Cloud, container, and Kubernetes security are covered alongside Software Supply Chain Security, Secrets Management, and AI and LLM Security.
The Learning Path
The curriculum spans A1 through C1 across 76 courses. The A1 foundation establishes networking, authentication, and secure browsing. A2 moves into Linux security, web security, cryptography, and OSINT. B1 covers the broad practitioner layer: vulnerability assessment, Active Directory, wireless security, compliance frameworks like NIST CSF and ISO 27001, threat modeling with STRIDE, and CTF skills. B2 deepens offensive and defensive work with TLS internals, container and Kubernetes security, malware analysis, Zero Trust Architecture, and penetration test reporting. The C1 tier closes with Advanced Exploitation Techniques, Reverse Engineering, Red Team Operations, Active Directory and Kerberos Attacks, Cloud Penetration Testing, OT/ICS/SCADA Security, Purple Teaming, RF and Wireless Hacking, and Mobile Forensics.
How It Works
Each course is divided into short, focused lessons you complete in the built-in code editor with real-time feedback. An AI tutor is available whenever you get stuck, so you can work through hands-on exercises at your own pace without waiting for office hours or a forum reply.
