What is cyber security?

Cyber security is the practice of protecting computers, networks, applications and data from unauthorised access, attacks and damage. It spans preventing attacks (firewalls, hardening, secure configuration), detecting them (SOC monitoring, SIEM alerts, threat intelligence) and responding to incidents — plus the governance, risk and compliance (GRC) work that keeps organisations audit-ready.

Can I learn cyber security without a coding background?

Yes. Large parts of cyber security — SOC monitoring, network defence, risk & compliance, security governance — are accessible without programming. This course starts from computer networking and operating system fundamentals, introduces scripting basics only where useful and builds practical skill through labs rather than heavy coding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cyber security a good career in India?

Yes. With rapid digitisation, RBI/SEBI security mandates and the DPDP Act, Indian organisations across banking, IT services, healthcare and government continuously hire security professionals and the global talent shortage keeps demand strong.

Do I need to know programming to join?

No. The course is beginner friendly and starts from networking and OS fundamentals. Basic scripting is introduced gradually and only where it helps in real security work.

Which certifications does this course prepare me for?

The curriculum builds the foundation for globally recognised entry-level certifications such as CompTIA Security+ and similar SOC-focused credentials. Those exams are conducted by their respective certification bodies; all third-party names are trademarks of their owners.

Will I get hands-on practice?

Yes — every major module includes guided labs (traffic analysis, scanning, SIEM alert triage, web vulnerability exercises) in safe, legal lab environments, plus a simulated incident-response capstone.

What roles can I apply for after completion?

SOC analyst, cyber security analyst, network security engineer, vulnerability assessment analyst and GRC analyst are the most common starting points, with support from our resume and interview preparation sessions.

What is the duration and fee?
