What you'll learn

  • Apply core cybersecurity principles including the CIA triad, AAA framework, defense in depth, and zero trust architecture to real-world scenarios
  • Analyze network traffic and configure essential security controls including firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs, and network segmentation using industry-standard tools
  • Implement cryptography fundamentals including symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing, PKI, and the TLS handshake using OpenSSL
  • Identify and exploit the OWASP Top 10 web application vulnerabilities — and apply the correct fixes in a safe lab environment
  • Detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents using the NIST 800-61 incident response lifecycle and digital forensics fundamentals
  • Write SIEM detection rules and map threats to the MITRE ATT&CK framework using tools like Splunk and Wazuh
  • Build a complete career roadmap to entry-level cybersecurity roles including SOC analyst, GRC analyst, and cloud security positions — with a clear path to Secur

Course content

2 sections • 15 lectures • 3h 50m total length

  • Day 1: Welcome & the Cybersecurity Landscape10:41
  • Day 2: Core Security Principles13:02
  • Certificate of Completion0:38
  • Day 3: Networking for Security Professionals14:52

    Build foundational network knowledge across layer 3, 4, and 7, learn to read traffic, analyze ports and DNS for threat hunting, and gain packet visibility with Wireshark.

  • Day 4: Network Security Controls14:58

    Explore core network security tools—firewalls, ids/ips, vpns, proxies, and nat—and apply defense in depth through segmentation and microsegmentation, plus hands-on lab on configuring firewall rules with pfSense.

  • Day 5: Cryptography Essentials17:01

    Explore cryptography essentials, including symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing, digital signatures, PKI, and the TLS handshake, with hands-on OpenSSL labs.

  • Day 6: Identity, Authentication & Access Control16:53

    Secure identity as the new perimeter by deploying MFA, SSO with OIDC and SAML, and RBAC or ABAC for least privilege access.

  • Day 7: Week 1 Checkpoint14:07

    Consolidate week one by reviewing days one through six concepts, testing knowledge, and an integrated lab, reinforcing the CIA triad, AAA, network security, and authentication and access control concepts.

Requirements

  • No prior cybersecurity, IT, or programming experience required — this course starts from absolute zero
  • A computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux) with at least 8GB RAM, capable of running virtual machines for the hands-on labs
  • A stable internet connection to download free tools like Wireshark, VirtualBox, pfSense, and OWASP Juice Shop
  • Willingness to commit 1 to 2 hours per day for 14 days and complete every hands-on lab — that's where the real skills are built
  • Curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to break things in a safe environment — the best cybersecurity professionals are the ones who keep asking "what happens if I try this?"

Description

Disclaimer: This course contains the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

This 14-day Cybersecurity Fundamentals Bootcamp takes you from absolute beginner to job-ready even if you've never written a line of code or touched a security tool.

By the end, you'll understand how cyberattacks work, how defenders stop them, and how to land your first role as a SOC analyst, IT security specialist, GRC analyst, or cloud security engineer.

Why This Bootcamp Is Different

Most cybersecurity courses dump theory and hope it sticks. This one is built around 14 hands-on labs and 1 capstone project. You'll configure firewalls, capture packets in Wireshark, exploit vulnerabilities in OWASP Juice Shop, analyze phishing emails, and reconstruct attack timelines from forensic logs.

What You'll Learn

  • CIA triad, defense in depth, zero trust

  • TCP/IP networking, firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs

  • Cryptography, PKI, and TLS

  • IAM: MFA, SSO, OAuth, SAML, RBAC

  • OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities

  • NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA

  • Roadmap to Security+, CySA+, CEH, CISSP

Who It's For

Complete beginners, IT pros pivoting careers, certification candidates, and aspiring SOC analysts or ethical hackers.

You Get: 18 hours of video, 14 labs, 2 quizzes, 1 capstone, lifetime access.

See you in Day 1. Good Luck to you

Who this course is for:

  • Complete beginners with zero cybersecurity, IT, or coding experience who want to break into one of the highest-paying tech fields in 2026
  • IT professionals pivoting from helpdesk, networking, system administration, or technical support roles into a dedicated security career
  • Career changers from non-technical backgrounds — teachers, finance professionals, military veterans, healthcare workers — looking for a structured path into tech
  • Students and recent graduates preparing for entry-level certifications like CompTIA Security+, CySA+, or CEH who want hands-on practice alongside theory
  • Aspiring SOC analysts, GRC analysts, ethical hackers, and cloud security engineers who need to build practical skills before applying for their first role
  • Business professionals, managers, and founders who need to understand cybersecurity risks, frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001, and how to talk security with technical teams
