Course Overview

The 1 Year Diploma in Cyber Security is White Fortress Academy's flagship programme β€” the most complete cyber security education track we offer.


Designed as a two-phase programme, the first 6 months build your core foundations in networking, Linux, and ethical hacking. The second 6 months take you into advanced territory: mobile pentesting, SOC analyst operations, CEH preparation, Python scripting for security, and a full industry capstone project.


By the end of this programme, you won't just have a certificate β€” you'll have a portfolio of real hacking labs, a polished resume, and the skills to walk into a cyber security job with confidence.
