Application Security Learning Path
A four-step path from developing a security mindset to implementing enterprise-grade defenses. Whether you are a developer, sysadmin, or security specialist, this path builds the practical knowledge you need to protect real systems.
Estimated time: 6–10 weeks at 5–10 hours per week
Security Mindset and Threat Modeling
Think like an attacker to defend like a professional. Learn to identify assets, enumerate threats, and prioritize defenses based on actual risk rather than fear.
Network Attack and Defense
Understand reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, and post-exploitation from the defender's perspective. Know what attackers do so you can detect and prevent it.
Enterprise Security Management
Build security programs, develop policies, plan incident response, and create security-aware organizational culture.
Infrastructure Hardening
Apply security practices to Linux servers, network devices, and application deployments. Configuration management, patching strategies, and monitoring.
