Security Engineering Foundations Bootcamp

An 8 - week, hands-on program designed to teach you practical programming, automation, and analysis skills used by modern cybersecurity teams.

This bootcamp is built around real security engineering workflows. Instead of dry theory, you’ll learn by building tools, reviewing code, automating tasks, and publishing projects that demonstrate your skills.

Whether you're entering cybersecurity, leveling up technical fundamentals, or preparing for security engineering interviews, this bootcamp gives you a strong, practical foundation.
You will also earn a certificate upon successful completion of the bootcamp.
