Four cybersecurity courses built on SANS-standard knowledge — taught by a practitioner with active GCIH and GSEC certifications, not a professor with a textbook. Coming soon.
The starting point for anyone serious about cybersecurity. This course covers the foundational knowledge that every security professional needs to have cold before moving into specialised areas.
Topics include: network security fundamentals (TCP/IP, firewalls, IDS/IPS), cryptography (symmetric/asymmetric, PKI, TLS), access control models, identity and authentication, operating system security, and security policies and governance. Based on the SANS SEC401 course and aligned with the GSEC certification framework.
A step up from fundamentals — this course covers the operational security knowledge needed to actually work in a security role. How attacks happen, how defenses work, and how to think about risk in a way that leads to real decisions rather than compliance theatre.
Topics include: attack lifecycle and threat modelling, common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK), security monitoring and SIEM, risk management frameworks, and security operations centre (SOC) fundamentals. Aligned with the GFACT certification framework.
The hands-on course. This is where you learn to think like an attacker — because understanding how attacks are executed is the only way to build defenses that actually work. And when an attack succeeds anyway, you need to know how to respond.
Topics include: penetration testing methodology (reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, post-exploitation), hacker tools and techniques, incident response lifecycle (preparation, identification, containment, eradication, recovery), digital forensics basics, and malware analysis fundamentals. Taught by a GCIH-certified instructor with real vulnerability disclosures to Samsung, D-Link, and others.
The most underrated course in any security curriculum. Being able to find vulnerabilities means nothing if you can't communicate them clearly to the people who can fix them. Being a strong security practitioner means nothing to your career if you can't present your work compellingly.
Topics include: security report writing (findings, severity ratings, remediation recommendations), executive communication (translating technical risk into business language), vulnerability disclosure writing, security awareness content, and presenting technical findings to non-technical audiences. Based on SANS SEC402 — certified effective cyber writing.
Shivam holds active GCIH and GSEC certifications from GIAC — the certification arm of the SANS Institute, which runs the most respected security training programs in the world. He scored 97% on his GSEC exam and was selected for the GIAC Advisory Board based on that performance.
He's not just someone who passed exams. He has disclosed vulnerabilities to companies including Samsung and D-Link, built production systems on AWS with security designed in from day one, and completed SANS courses in penetration testing, incident handling, effective security writing, and security presentation.
These courses are built from that real-world knowledge — the same way a good textbook gets written by someone who's done the work, not just studied it.
