Cybersecurity Academy

Seven courses covering network security fundamentals, NGFW production troubleshooting, SOC operations, and threat intelligence — from first principles to TAC-level outage diagnosis.

Beginner5 Modules

Network Security Fundamentals

Core concepts of IP routing, switching, TCP/IP, and firewalling — the foundation every security engineer needs before going deeper.

Introduction to IP Networking
Subnetting and CIDR
Firewalls and ACLs
DNS and HTTP Traffic
Real-World Packet Analysis

Start Course

Intermediate5 Modules

Network Troubleshooting in Production

Real production network failures — BGP drops, MTU mismatches, spanning tree loops, DHCP exhaustion — and the debug sequences that find each root cause fast.

Routing Protocol Failures — BGP & OSPF
MTU & MSS Mismatches
Spanning Tree Loops & Broadcast Storms
DHCP Exhaustion & DNS Failures
QoS Misconfiguration & Interface Flapping

Start Course

Intermediate8 Modules

Firewall Mastery NGFW

Deep dive into next-generation firewalls — NAT, App-ID, URL filtering, VPN, and HA configuration with real-world production examples.

Introduction to NGFW Architecture
Security Policies & Rulebase
NAT (Network Address Translation)
App-ID & Application Control
URL Filtering & Content Inspection
Threat Prevention
VPN Configuration
Logging, Monitoring & High Availability

Start Course

Advanced8 Modules

Firewall Production Outage Troubleshooting

The production outages that take down entire organizations — asymmetric routing, NAT hairpin, App-ID shifts, SSL decryption failures, and SSL VPN failures. TAC debugging sequences, not theory.

The TAC Mental Model — How the NGFW Processes Packets
Asymmetric Routing — Website Opens Intermittently
NAT Hairpinning — Outside Works, Inside Fails
App-ID Mid-Session Shift — Allowed Then Denied
SSL Decryption Breaking Applications
SSL VPN Complete Failure
TAC Debugging Toolkit — Real Sequences
Prevention & Pre-Change Validation

Beginner3 Modules

SOC Operations Basics

How real Security Operations Centers work — alert triage workflow, SIEM log analysis, NGFW log reading, and incident response from first alert to post-incident review.

SOC Structure & Real Alert Triage Workflow
SIEM Analysis — Reading Logs Like a SOC Analyst
Incident Response in Production

Start Course

Advanced4 Modules

Threat Intelligence

IoCs, TTPs, and MITRE ATT&CK in practice — understand how threat intelligence is structured, applied, and used in real detection and response workflows.

Introduction to Threat Intelligence
IoCs, TTPs & MITRE ATT&CK
Malware Analysis Fundamentals
Threat Hunting & Applying CTI

Start Course

Advanced4 Modules

Threat Intel Operations

How CTI teams actually operate — hypothesis-driven threat hunting, vulnerability prioritization with intelligence, false positive reduction, dark web monitoring, and TIP integration.

Threat Hunting Workflow — Hunting Before the Alert Fires
CTI for Vulnerability Prioritization & Outbound Investigation
Alert Correlation & Reducing False Positives
Dark Web Monitoring & CTI Platforms in Operational Use
