  • Manage DNS, domains, CDNs, and caching to host fast, reliable websites and apps for users anywhere in the world

Course Breakdown
6 Subjects
6 Subject
32 Modules
Subject 1: Fundamentals of Cyber Security
4-6 Weeks
What You'll Learn:
Think like an attacker — understand who's targeting Australian businesses, what they're really after, and how they get in
Operate confidently in the terminal — the environment every real cyber professional works in
Tear apart modern phishing campaigns and identify AI-generated attacks most people can't spot
Use OSINT to see what attackers see — scrape a real LinkedIn profile and understand how AI phishing is built in under five minutes
Recognise and defend against social engineering, deepfakes, and voice cloning at the human level
Assess third-party vendor risk before it becomes the breach that takes a business down
Subject 2: Cyber Security Application
6-8 Weeks
What You'll Learn:
Deploy and secure a live web application end-to-end on Cloudflare
Lock down access with real IAM controls — the same way modern SaaS companies do it
Configure next-gen firewalls, rate limiters, and SSL the way production engineers actually configure them
Defend a live app against real DDoS attacks while it's running
Understand how to Audit a business against the Essential 8, ISO 27001, and Australian Privacy Act — and know what to fix
Subject 3: Cloud Security (Cloud Computing & Security)
5-6 Weeks
What You'll Learn:
Stand up a secure AWS environment from a blank account to production-ready
Launch, encrypt, and lock down EC2 instances and S3 storage the way enterprise teams do it
Deploy a containerised application to the cloud using Docker on EC2
Architect cloud environments using the shared responsibility model — knowing exactly where your job ends and AWS's begins
Build private, encrypted networks in AWS with VPN deployment
Audit every action in a cloud environment using CloudTrail — the same forensic trail used in real breach investigations
Subject 4: Network Security & Hardware
6-8 Weeks
What You'll Learn:
See a network the way attackers and defenders see it — across all seven OSI layers
Run reconnaissance scans on test systems using Kali Linux and NMAP
Capture and decode live network traffic with Wireshark — including watching a DDoS attack unfold
Stand up a working SIEM in Splunk — ingest logs, write SPL queries, and build alerts that catch real attacks
Understand and defend the hardware layer — TPM, Secure Boot, firmware tampering, and side-channel attacks
Run vulnerability scans on systems using Nessus and interpret what the results actually mean
Subject 5: Cyber Investigations
4-6 Weeks
What You'll Learn:
Navigate the Australian cyber investigation ecosystem and know exactly which agency owns which case
Preserve digital evidence under pressure without destroying it — the difference between a prosecution and a dismissal
Triage and extract data from seized devices using the same tools field investigators use (ADF, Cellebrite, Magnet)
Run professional OSINT investigations across platforms, metadata, and archived web history
Trace stolen money through international banks and across blockchains using real forensic tools (Chainalysis, TRM)
Run a victim through the full 12-step incident response sequence from first call to referral
Subject 6: Cyber Security Business Application
7-10 Weeks
What You'll Learn:
Translate cybersecurity risk into a business case real decision-makers will actually fund
Recognise AI-accelerated threats in action — voice cloning, deepfakes, and phishing at industrial scale
Test an LLM for prompt injection vulnerabilities and defend against the OWASP Top 10 for AI
Write Python that does real cyber security work — network tools, encryption, hashing, and automation
Run a full penetration test in Kali Linux — recon, exploit, reverse shell, and password cracking
Apply Australian AI governance and ethics to real business workflows before the regulators force you to
