Nonprofit cybersecurity education

Build the skills to defend what matters.

Practical, lab-based courses built around four CompTIA certifications. Finish a course, sit the exam, move to the next one. Take one course or follow a career path.

THE ORDER THAT MAKES SENSE Network+ first, then Security+. After that, CySA+ for defensive work, PenTest+ for authorized testing, or both. Every link is an exam you sit with CompTIA. Hover a course to see what it covers.

Mission

Cybersecurity education should be accessible.

We exist to make practical cybersecurity education available to people who want to develop real technical skills — without requiring an expensive traditional education pathway.

ACCESS
Priced to be reachable

Pay per course or a modest monthly fee. Surplus funds more courses, not shareholders.
PRACTICE
Skills over slides

Every course is built around things you do: configure, analyze, investigate, harden.
DEPTH
Technically honest

Real tools, real logs, real configuration — the way systems are actually attacked and defended.
CAREER
Role-shaped pathways

Structured progressions mapped to the work of SOC analysts, engineers, and responders.

Two ways in

One education ecosystem. Two entry points.

Buy a single course when you need a specific skill. Subscribe when you want a structured, comprehensive journey. Both run on the same LMS, and progress carries over.

Course catalog

Four courses. Four certifications. One order that makes sense.

Each course maps to one CompTIA exam and covers every domain in its published objectives with lessons, exercises, and labs. Finish the course, then sit the exam. Open a course for its full syllabus and objective map.

· EXAMS ARE ADMINISTERED BY COMPTIA · ESTIMATED HOURS ARE GUIDANCE, NOT REQUIREMENTS

Not sure where to start?

Three questions. One course.

No account, no email. Answer honestly and we'll point you at the course that fits where you are now.

01 Can you subnet by hand and explain what a VLAN is for?

02 Do you hold Security+ or know the material?

03 What kind of work draws you?

Career paths

Navigate a career the way you'd navigate an architecture.

Each path is an ordered sequence of certifications. Every stage is one course and ends at the exam it prepares you for. Select a path, then a stage.

Paths are included with Career Development. Every course inside a path can also be purchased individually.

On-path attacks and why flat networks make them easy

An attacker who can insert themselves between two hosts can read or alter traffic in transit. On a flat network, one compromised host can reach every other host, so segmentation and…
