Cyber Security Operations Technician

On Module 1, you will explore the cyber security landscape from a practitioner’s point of view. You’ll understand your role in the bigger picture — including threat operations, governance, and compliance. You’ll also take your first steps into cloud security, working with Azure and AWS to build a foundational understanding of infrastructure risks and defence measures.

On Module 2, you will operate as a security analyst inside a live SIEM environment. You’ll set up log monitoring, triage suspicious events, and explore real-world techniques used to detect hidden attacks. You’ll also conduct your first threat hunt using MITRE ATT&CK logic, building the investigative instincts required to work in modern SOCs.

On Module 3, you will gain exposure to both sides of cyber security — offensive and defensive. You’ll analyse how attackers operate and simulate basic red team tactics while also building defensive detection skills. This balanced approach sharpens your ability to see both the cause and the effect of cyber threats — the true mark of a well-rounded analyst.

On Module 4, you will respond to simulated incidents, applying proper IR workflows while staying aligned with compliance frameworks. You’ll also build critical reporting skills — turning technical findings into structured, clear, and defensible reports that matter to business and security leadership alike.

On Module 5, you will put your analyst skills to the test in a simulated real-world incident response. After the simulation, you’ll focus on career readiness — preparing a cyber-specific CV, building your online presence, and rehearsing interviews to confidently showcase your new skills to future employers.
