Syllabus

Foundations of Cloud Computing and Virtualization

Build a strong foundation in cloud computing by exploring core cloud concepts, service and deployment models, virtualization, and shared responsibility. You'll also understand how cloud security layers work and why virtualization is essential for scalable, secure, and efficient cloud environments.

Cloud Security Threats, Attacks & Exploitation

Explore the security landscape of cloud computing by understanding common threats, attack methodologies, and cloud security tools. Through hands-on demonstrations, you'll learn how attackers enumerate cloud resources, exploit misconfigurations, and establish persistence across AWS and GCP environments.

Modern Cloud Security, Architecture & Protection

Learn how modern cloud technologies such as containers, Kubernetes, and serverless environments are secured in real-world deployments. You'll also explore cloud security best practices, Zero Trust principles, CASB, and hands-on techniques for identifying security risks in cloud-native environments.

Mobile Security, Android Vulnerabilities & Attack Techniques

Gain an understanding of mobile platform security by exploring common attack techniques, vulnerabilities, and real-world threats targeting Android devices. You'll also learn about Android architecture, rooting tools, OTP theft methods, and the fundamentals of Android penetration testing.

Mobile Penetration Testing, iOS Security & Defence

Explore advanced mobile security concepts through hands-on demonstrations, iOS security testing, reverse engineering, and mobile penetration testing toolkits. You'll also learn about Mobile Device Management (MDM), application security analysis, and effective countermeasures to protect mobile devices and applications.

Cryptography Fundamentals & Secure Communication

Learn the fundamentals of cryptography, including encryption, hashing, digital certificates, and secure communication protocols. Gain hands-on experience with cryptographic tools and understand how technologies like RSA, PKI, SSL/TLS, and PGP protect data and communications.

Cryptography Attacks, Data Protection & Steganography

Explore common attacks against cryptographic systems, password protection techniques, and the fundamentals of steganography. Through practical demonstrations, you'll learn disk encryption, file hashing, hidden data techniques, and effective defenses against cryptographic attacks.

Denial of Service (DoS) / DDoS Attacks

Understand how DoS and DDoS attacks disrupt services by exploring their attack methods, symptoms, and common attack vectors. You'll also learn about botnets, cloud-based DDoS attacks, protection tools, and practical techniques for defending against denial-of-service threats.

SQL Injection

Learn how SQL injection attacks exploit database-driven applications by understanding SQL query execution, injection techniques, and information extraction methods. Through hands-on demonstrations, you'll perform SQL injection using industry tools and AI-assisted techniques while learning effective defenses against these attacks.
