Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is built on a single principle: you cannot defend what you do not understand how to attack. The four categories in this track are not independent disciplines — they are four perspectives on the same underlying systems.
Offensive Security teaches you to find and exploit vulnerabilities the way an attacker would. Defensive Security teaches you to detect, respond to, and prevent those same attacks. Web Security focuses this lens specifically on web applications — the attack surface most organisations expose to the public internet. Networking & Protocols gives you the foundational knowledge of how data actually moves, because every attack and every defence ultimately happens at the network level.
A complete security engineer needs all four. The offensive mindset makes your defences realistic. The defensive knowledge makes your offence responsible. Web security is where most attacks happen. And networking is the foundation everything else runs on.

Networking & Protocols
Every attack and every defence happens over a network. Understanding TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, and packet analysis is the foundational knowledge that makes all security work possible — offensive or defensive.
Web Security
Web applications are the largest attack surface in the world — every company exposes one to the public internet. The OWASP Top 10 are not theoretical risks, they are the exact vulnerabilities being exploited in production systems right now.
Offensive Security
Think like an attacker to break systems before the bad actors do. Penetration testing, exploitation, privilege escalation, and CTF techniques — the red team discipline that makes all defensive security grounded in reality.
Defensive Security
Harden systems, detect intrusions, and respond to incidents before damage is done. Where offensive security breaks things, defensive security builds the walls, cameras, and alarm systems — and trains the people who monitor them.
