Why Learn Cyber Security?

What is Cyber Security?

Cyber Security is the protection of networks, systems and data against digital attacks, theft, and damage. In our increasingly connected world, cyberattacks are putting at risk individual, business and government information.

What you will gain?

By studying cyber security, you can gain the skills needed to identify vulnerabilities, prevent attacks, and maintain data integrity and protection. The demand for skilled workers in this field is rapidly growing due to increasing cybercrime, making this field an exciting and secure employment opportunity. 

An (ISC)² Cybersecurity Workforce Study indicates that to adequately protect critical business assets, the global Cyber Security workforce must increase by 3.4 million people. As cyberattacks become more frequent and more sophisticated, there is a greater need for qualified personnel than there is supply. Now is the time to enter this important industry, secure data and systems, and build a fulfilling career.

Would you like to start a career in this highly sought-after field?

The Cybersecurity Bootcamp offered by Code Labs Academy provides hands-on instruction on fundamental Cyber Security ideas, tools, and practices.

What you’ll Learn

Coaching you through an especially curated curriculum designed to take you from ‘just curious’ to ‘fully certified’ in cyber security in as few as 12 weeks (full time).

Download our Syllabus

Prior to the official start of our bootcamp and live classes, you will be given access to our online platform and our prework content. This content is meant for you to look at some basics of computer science and programming concepts. Even though the bootcamp will not have started officially, we will be available for you during this time to work together with you on how to lay out a plan for you to master these basics. If you are already interested in learning more cyber security specific concepts, do not worry. During the prework, you learn about the basics of cryptography and historical ciphers.

Fundamentals

  • Introduction to Algorithms
  • Installing Kali Linux With Virtualbox

Basics in Computer Science

  • Introduction to The Command Line
  • Version Control With Git And GitHub

Python Fundamentals

  • Python Fundamentals

Introduction to Cryptography

  • History
  • Substitution Cipher
  • Vigenre Cipher
  • Enigma

Project: An Enigma

  • In this project, you will be presented with a cipher text. Using the theoretical knowledge you gained about cryptography and the programming language of your choice, your task is to crack the code and discover the secret message.

What You’ll Need

You don’t need any prior qualifications in computer science or programming to join our bootcamp. We assume no prior knowledge and will guide you through the basics in the first few weeks, ensuring you build a strong foundation from the ground up. Whether you're new to the field or looking for a career change, our program is designed to get you up to speed quickly and confidently

Optional requirements that will be beneficial to have during the bootcamp include:

About the Capstone Project

The final project gives you the chance to put your bootcamp knowledge and newly acquired skills to the test in a dynamic, hands-on environment. It’s an opportunity to create something real, showcase your technical abilities, and develop a project that will be a key part of your professional portfolio. It allows you to express your creativity and highlight how much you’ve evolved throughout your bootcamp experience.

Additionally, the final project is designed to replicate the challenges you will encounter in a real tech job, enabling you to showcase your skills in solving complex problems and equipping you for the expectations of your future career.

Red Team Project

The project focuses on red teaming techniques, particularly tailored for web application penetration testing, alongside performing vulnerability scans on Docker machines.

Key phases:

  • Reconnaissance
  • Initial Access
  • Linux privilege escalation
  • Exploiting identified vulnerabilities to gain root privileges

The primary objective is to simulate real-world attack scenarios to test the resilience of systems against potential threats. A detailed report will be produced, documenting the vulnerabilities identified, the exploitation methods used for initial access and privilege escalation, and providing strategic recommendations to secure the systems.

Blue Team Project

The Blueteam Project emphasizes blue team operations with a focus on Linux log analysis and the review of recovered audit files. Key areas covered include:

  • Detecting Anomalies and Identifying Threats: Through meticulous log analysis to detect unusual activities that may indicate a breach.
  • Forensic Investigations: Conducting in-depth examinations to determine how attackers gained access, the extent of the compromise, and identifying any files that were affected or stolen.
  • Incident Analysis: Reviewing audit files to establish a detailed timeline of unauthorized activities and security breaches.

The aim of the project is to enhance system defenses by analyzing security events, responding effectively to potential breaches, and creating a detailed incident report. This report will cover the attack timeline, vulnerabilities exploited, and recommendations for future prevention.

Why Learn With Us?

  • Fast paced.
  • Small class sizes.
  • 1:1 career coaching individually catered to your experience and goals.
