Certified Cyber Security Professional [CCSP]

This is a comprehensive, practical, industry‑oriented training that teaches not only theory but the real‑world workflows used by security teams. Whether you’re a complete beginner, a developer wanting to learn secure coding, or an IT engineer planning a transition into security — this course is designed to make you job‑ready by focusing on practical skills and professional reporting.

We cover VAPT methodology, OWASP Top‑10, Recon → Exploit → Reporting phases, SIEM & threat hunting fundamentals, and real lab exercises so you can find vulnerabilities, exploit them responsibly, and write professional remediation reports.

Key Features (What You’ll Get)

• Hands-on Labs: Virtual lab environment (Ubuntu, Windows, Kali) with real practice exercises.
• Practical Demonstrations: Learn to use Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, Wireshark, Ghidra, and Docker-based labs.
• Full VAPT Workflow: Covers reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, post-exploitation, and professional reporting.
• OWASP Top-10 Workshop: One-day intensive session for developers focused on vulnerabilities and fixes.
• Certificate & Portfolio: Completion certificate and hands-on portfolio for career or interview use.
