Why a career in Cyber Security?

Cybersecurity is quickly becoming the most in-demand and undersupplied skillset in IT. As the complexity, frequency, and magnitude of cyber attacks and exploitation of individuals and organizations are on the rise, the skills to effectively defend, analyze and respond are increasingly in high demand and short supply.

"There will be 1 million to 2 million unfilled cyber-security jobs worldwide by 2019, according to a recent report released by Intel Security called "Hacking the Skills Shortage.""

Curriculum

The Cyber Security Professional bootcamp is a comprehensive curriculum, designed to cover key skills in demand for the modern cyber security professional.

Comprised of 15 distinct, but complementary missions, students will start with basic fundamentals of hardware, operating systems, networks, and work their way through various missions involving topics such as pen testing, programming, data analysis, cryptography, and risk assessment to name a few.

Certifications

The reality is that some people and organizations look highly upon certifications, some do not require them in favor of demonstrated knowledge and experience. We feel that the decision whether to certify or not is best left up to the individual. We’ve done our best to provide a clear path for both scenarios successfully. We believe those true Cyber Security Professionals will continue to be passionate, lifelong learners in either case.

For those that do wish to get qualified certifications, we will strive to provide accessible expertise, guidance, clear communication of course materials covered that is likely to appear on the various certifications, as well as clear communication of what we do not cover, and provide additional study resources and materials.
