Technical AI and engineering pathways
Cybersecurity
A sixteen-week offensive security pathway opening with a shared foundation in operating systems, networking, ethics, and lab isolation. Learners move through reconnaissance and enumeration, web attacks, exploitation and automation, Active Directory attack paths, privilege escalation, and command-and-control, closing on purple teaming and detection-aware offense. Security+, CySA+, SecurityX and MITRE ATT&CK calibrate the build; the pathway does not award them.
- Who it's for
- Emerging security engineers, technical learners moving into security roles, universities, workforce partners, and employers building offensive security capability.
- Problem it solves
- Partners need security training where learners work hands-on against real systems and can also explain, detect, and defend against what they did.
