This module lays that groundwork. You'll get comfortable reading IP addresses, mapping out network topologies, and using monitoring tools to watch traffic in real time—spotting anything that looks out of place. From there, you'll dig into scanning and enumeration, learning how attackers find exposed assets and what you can do to make your systems harder to profile. The module wraps up with a practical look at cybersecurity frameworks: you'll size up an organization's risk, write security policies, and use the NIST CSF to build a plan that actually addresses the threats. Walk away knowing how to evaluate network design, catch anomalies early, and put together a clear, structured response when something goes wrong.
Hard Skills
- NIST CSF
- Nmap
- Network topology
- Traffic monitoring
- Risk assessment
- CMDB
Soft Skills
- Analytical thinking
- Adaptability
- Time management
- Problem-solving
- Documentation
- Attention to detail
Incident Response
This module is about making sure you're ready to act when a security incident hits. You'll start by getting to know the most common threats and attack vectors, then figure out which mitigations will shrink an organization's exposure the most. From there, you'll build formal incident response playbooks for real scenarios: phishing attempts, malware outbreaks, data breaches, and DDoS attacks. Using NIST standards as your benchmark, you'll review and sharpen existing response plans so that when something goes sideways, the team knows exactly how to contain the damage, keep stakeholders informed, and make sure the same thing doesn't happen twice.
Hard Skills
- Attack surface analysis
- Malware analysis
- Threat modeling
- DDoS mitigation
- Incident response plan development
- Playbook creation (phishing, malware, DDoS, data breach)
Soft Skills
- Critical thinking
- Technical writing
- Decision-making
- Prioritization
Vulnerability Management
This module walks you through the entire vulnerability management process, from locking down networks and standing up a security operations center, to using virtualization to breathe new life into outdated infrastructure. You'll run formal vulnerability assessments, make sense of scan results, and rank risks by how serious they actually are. Authorized penetration testing helps you confirm the most critical findings aren't just theoretical. The module also puts a real emphasis on communication: you'll present your findings in industry-standard formats and make the case to non-technical leaders—clearly and convincingly enough to get the green light for security improvements.
Hard Skills
- Network hardening and virtualization
- SNOC
- Threat modeling
- Vulnerability scanning
- Penetration testing
- Vulnerability severity scoring (e.g., CVSS)
Soft Skills
- Evidence-based reasoning
- Data presentation
- Project planning
Investigating Incidents
The final module is where everything comes together. You'll build out a real monitoring environment—deploying a SIEM, pulling in logs from key endpoints, and stress-testing the whole setup with adversary emulation tools like Atomic Red Team to make sure nothing slips through. Then comes the investigative work: using Splunk to triage alerts and dig into suspicious activity—odd file changes, strange network traffic, questionable logins, and signs of data being quietly siphoned out. You'll sharpen your ability to tell a genuine incident from a false alarm, and you'll document everything the way employers actually expect. By the end, you're not just technically capable—you're job-ready.
Hard Skills
- SIEM deployment
- Log aggregation
- Adversary emulation (Atomic Red Team)
- Splunk
- False-positive analysis
- Alert triage
- Traffic analysis
Soft Skills
- Evidence-based reasoning
- Data presentation

Fundamentals
In this module, students get hands-on with the core building blocks of cybersecurity—running scans and enumeration exercises to identify and catalog a company's assets into a CMDB. They learn to read results from standard scanning tools and put defensive measures in place to keep device identities hidden from would-be attackers. From there, the module shifts into cybersecurity frameworks, where students assess an organization's risk profile, keep tabs on assets continuously, and work through how to respond when incidents hit. Working within the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), they size up a mid-sized business's security posture and put together a mitigation plan—complete with stronger policies and procedures—to keep the business running and head off future incidents.
Hard Skills
- Network scanning
- CMDB
- NIST CSF
- Security policy
- Incident response
Soft Skills
- Analytical thinking
- Attention to detail
- Problem-solving
- Organizational skills
Incident Response
This module is all about understanding and tackling the cybersecurity threats that organizations run into most often. Students learn to threat model an organization, pin down attack vectors, and figure out which mitigations to prioritize in order to shrink the attack surface. They build out structured playbooks for common incident scenarios—phishing, malware, data breaches, DDoS attacks—and then dig into a project that asks them to critically tear apart a poorly executed incident response plan from a ransomware attack and rebuild it to hold up against NIST standards. By the end, students walk away with the practical know-how to protect organizations from repeating the same mistakes and to lead a coordinated, effective response when things go sideways.
Hard Skills
- Threat modeling
- Attack vector identification
- Attack surface reduction
- Incident response playbook development
- NIST
- Mitigation strategy planning
Soft Skills
- Critical thinking
- Decision-making
- Prioritization
Vulnerability Management
This module takes students through the full lifecycle of vulnerability management from start to finish. They kick things off by hardening networks, standing up a Security Network Operations Center (SNOC), getting virtualization in place, and tightening up authentication practices. From there, they run formal vulnerability assessments—inventorying assets, executing scans, making sense of the results, and ranking remediations by severity. Students then move into penetration testing to validate and confirm the most critical findings, follow through with remediation, and package everything into industry-standard report formats. CompTIA Security+ fundamentals are woven throughout, with students starting exam prep through focused study methods including Anki flashcard decks.
Hard Skills
- Network hardening
- SNOC
- Virtualization
- Vulnerability severity analysis
- Penetration testing
Soft Skills
- Executive-level communication
- Analytical reasoning
- Time management
Investigating Incidents
This module trains students to dig into real-world security incidents across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. Students get comfortable securely managing networks, spinning up continuous monitoring systems, and pulling in security-critical logs from endpoints. They work through alerts and anomalies, learning to tell genuine incidents apart from false positives, and put together the right response plans for each. The module then takes things up a notch—students track down complex attacks using SIEM tools and the MITRE ATT&CK framework to map out attacker TTPs, writing targeted queries to work through the evidence. Everything wraps up with students authoring a formal incident investigation report that lays out findings and recommendations for both technical teammates and non-technical stakeholders.
Hard Skills
- Secure network management
- MITRE ATT&CK framework
- Log aggregation
- Threat detection and analysis
- False-positive analysis
- Alert triage
- Traffic analysis
Soft Skills
- Adaptability
- Collaboration
- Project planning
CompTIA Security+
The final module gets students ready to sit for the CompTIA Security+ certification exam and pass it. Building on the groundwork laid earlier in the program, students tackle the more advanced exam domains, work through hands-on exercises, and take practice exams to spot and fill any gaps in their knowledge. Solid exam strategies and continued use of study tools help lock in retention across all the key topic areas. Earning the certification tells employers that a student knows their stuff—it's a recognized industry credential that gives job applications a real boost and builds professional credibility in the field.
