Certified Ethical Hacker (Master)
The practical, proctored layer on top of C|EH: real-world challenges that prove you can apply the techniques under time pressure, not just recognise them.
Certified Penetration Testing Professional
Run full penetration tests in enterprise environments: pivoting through segmented networks, attacking IoT and OT, writing exploits, and reporting findings on live cyber ranges.
Web Application Hacking and Security
Hands-on web application hacking — authentication and session flaws, injection, deserialisation and business logic abuse — proven in a live range rather than on multiple choice questions.
Certified Network Defender
Defend the network end to end: hardening, segmentation, monitoring, traffic analysis and response, with as much attention to detection and prediction as to prevention.
ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity
Security for industrial control and operational technology environments, where legacy protocols, availability and physical safety set the constraints.
Certified SOC Analyst
Tier I and II SOC work: log collection, SIEM use, correlation rules, alert triage and escalation of incidents that turn out to be real.
Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst
Build a threat intelligence programme: requirements, collection, analysis and dissemination of intelligence a SOC can act on.
Certified Incident Handler
A structured incident handling process across malware, email, network, web application, cloud and insider incidents, from preparation to lessons learned.
Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator
Digital forensics from first response to court: evidence handling, disk and memory analysis, network and cloud forensics, and investigation reporting.
Disaster Recovery Professional
Business continuity and disaster recovery: business impact analysis, recovery strategy, plan development, testing and getting operations back.
Certified Cloud Security Engineer
Cloud security across AWS, Azure and GCP: identity, network, storage and workload controls, logging, incident response and governance.

Bring security into the pipeline: threat modelling, secure code review, SAST and DAST, container and infrastructure-as-code security, automated in CI/CD.
Certified Application Security Engineer (.NET)
Secure coding for .NET developers, mapped to the SDLC: input validation, authentication, session management, error handling and cryptography.
Certified Application Security Engineer (Java)
The same secure-SDLC discipline for Java teams, from design review through to secure deployment and maintenance.

Certified Responsible AI Governance & Ethics
Responsible AI governance: policy, transparency, bias and fairness controls, and alignment with emerging regulation.
Blockchain Developer Certification
Build blockchain applications: architecture, consensus, smart contract development and the security issues specific to on-chain code.
Blockchain Fintech Certification
Blockchain in financial services: payments, tokenisation, decentralised finance models, and the risk and regulatory questions around them.
Blockchain Business Leader Certification
Blockchain for decision makers: what the technology can and cannot do, how to pick a use case, and how to run an adoption programme.
Certified Cybersecurity Technician
Technician-level foundation across network defense, ethical hacking, digital forensics and incident response, with heavy lab time and no prerequisites.
Certified Encryption Specialist
Cryptography in practice: symmetric and asymmetric algorithms, hashing, key exchange, PKI, disk and traffic encryption — and where implementations go wrong.
EC-Council Certified Security Specialist
A broad first specialist credential covering network defense, ethical hacking and digital forensics fundamentals in a single programme.
Certified Secure Computer User
Security awareness for every employee: passwords, phishing, devices, social media and safe handling of company data.

The first step into offensive security: attack types, the phases of hacking and basic hands-on labs.
Digital Forensics Essentials
Foundations of digital forensics: investigation process, evidence handling and first analysis of disks, networks and logs.
DevSecOps Essentials
How security fits into a modern delivery pipeline, for developers and operations people starting out.
IoT Security Essentials
Threats and controls for connected devices, from firmware and protocols to the networks they sit on.
