Students will learn the necessary skills to automate security tasks by using the Python programming language. For analysts and other security professionals, automation is a fundamental tool that helps them keep up with the volume of threats and individual activities to defend the enterprise. They will learn automated data analysis, policy validation, and customized scanning. Participants will also be trained on how to use Python to automate offensive activities as a penetration tester and better understand modern-day attacks.

The Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification teaches students to systematically attempt to inspect network infrastructures (with the consent of its owner) to find security vulnerabilities which a malicious hacker could potentially exploit. This accredited course provides the advanced hacking tools and techniques used by hackers and information security professionals alike to break into an organization. As we put it, “To beat a hacker, you need to think like a hacker”.

CompTIA Security+ is the first certification any IT professional should earn. It is the foundation of knowledge required for virtually every cybersecurity job, and it serves as a springboard for you to move up to intermediate-level roles.
In this module, you will learn everything from how to install and configure systems to how to secure applications, networks, and devices through threat analysis and how to apply mitigation techniques to respond to threats that may exist.

Students will learn to identify potentially harmful events and the difference between an incident response policy and an incident response plan. Participants will learn the best practices to build an incident response plan: prepare, identify, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned. They will also develop a strong foundation on how to handle a cybersecurity incident.

An important part of the CyberWarrior training program is also in the area of professional development and enhanced soft skills that will help a new cybersecurity professional realize success in their new workplace. In response to employer feedback and demand, our program focuses on soft/professional skill training that enhances a student’s “confidence” with their newfound skills. To expand the student’s overall core “competence” in cybersecurity, we embed skills such as critical thinking, communication, and presentation into our everyday curriculum. In each module, CWA introduces a skill through a company scenario/case study. In turn, the student uses the practical application of soft skills to reinforce and sustain both the technical and interpersonal learning.

Red Team exercise (Offense) – during this one-week capstone project, students use the hacking strategies they learned to assemble and execute an offensive plan on a given target. They develop a Penetration Test Report to present it to our board in an executive presentation. For evaluation purposes, we will bring CISOs and experts in the field to score the project outcome. The judges are hiring managers from our employer partners and other industry stakeholders.
