None. Networking and OS basics are taught from scratch.
What we do, stated plainly, and what we do not claim.
Your CV is rebuilt around the VAPT reports and SOC investigations you actually produced, using the terms security recruiters screen for.
Technical rounds on SIEM, networking, OWASP and incident response, plus a scenario round on how you would triage a live alert.
SOC, VAPT, GRC and network security are different careers. We help you pick the one that matches how you actually work.
Headline, skills, certifications and project section, so recruiter search surfaces you for security roles.
The classroom programme includes an internship certificate based on your completed capstone project work.
No job guarantee, no guaranteed salary, no placement percentage. Any institute quoting those numbers cannot evidence them either.
These are employers advertising SOC, VAPT and security analyst roles in the Hyderabad market. We prepare you for their interview process. We are not claiming a hiring partnership with them.
Every reason below is something you can verify before you pay.
Our Cyber Security course in Hyderabad is built around what a working security analyst actually does — triaging alerts, testing applications, investigating incidents — not around a slide deck. You use more than twenty tools in a lab you can reach 24/7, from the first networking module onward.
The programme runs across 25 modules covering SOC and SIEM, ethical hacking and VAPT, incident response and digital forensics, cloud security, GRC and AI in security. It finishes with six capstone projects, four practical assignments and two Capture The Flag challenges.
Classroom batches run at Manjeera Trinity Corporate in Kukatpally. Live online batches run the same syllabus with the same trainer, with daily recordings for revision.
Sit in on a real session before you commit — no obligation.
Two full modules plus a monitoring capstone. SIEM is the single most-hired skill in the Hyderabad security market.
Modules 10 and 11Ethical hacking and VAPT alongside detection and response, so you understand both sides of an incident.
Modules 4 to 8, and 18Kali, Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Splunk, QRadar and more, used rather than demonstrated.
Module 23Every session is taught live. Recordings are a backup for missed classes, not the course itself.
Daily recordings for revisionTwo modules before any security tool, so non-technical learners are not left behind in week three.
Modules 2 and 3Threat-informed defence, detection mapping and coverage gaps — the framework serious blue teams work to.
Module 14A dedicated module on AI-assisted detection and the new attack surface AI creates. Most syllabuses have not caught up.
Module 19Governance, risk and compliance with ISO 27001 and NIST — a steady hiring path most courses ignore.
Module 20Web VAPT, SOC monitoring, network pentest, red vs blue, forensics and phishing investigation.
Module 24Two CTF challenges and four practical assignments, so you practise under pressure.
Included in classroomIn-person batches at Manjeera Trinity Corporate, plus live online for everyone else.
Both modes, same syllabusClassroom and online fees can be paid in EMI or two instalments.

SOC · SIEM · VAPT · Incident responseMost institutes push the expensive certification first. The sequence that actually gets freshers hired runs the other way.
On completing the programme you receive a Cyber Security Academy course completion certificate — a record of the modules you finished and the projects you built. It is separate from any vendor certification, which is issued by the certifying body.

Lead trainer, cyber security and security operations.
10+ years of industry experience, teaching SOC operations, SIEM, ethical hacking, VAPT and incident response from the perspective of someone who has done the work rather than only studied it.
SOC and SIEM, ethical hacking, VAPT, incident response, digital forensics, cloud security.
Every concept lands in a lab the same session. No module ends without something run.
1:1 career mentorship and guidance on which certification path fits your background.
Doubt-clearing sessions, technical support and WhatsApp learning support between classes.
Three ways to take the same 25-module syllabus.
EMI and two-instalment payment options are available on classroom and online training.
We would rather you verify everything than take our word for it. Here is exactly how.
Book a free demo and watch an actual session — the trainer, the pace, the lab setup and the batch you would join. Nothing is staged for visitors.
Open our Google Business Profile and read what learners wrote there. Google reviews are tied to real accounts, which is why we point you to them rather than printing quotes here.
Ask the counsellor about the trainer's industry experience and check it yourself. A named trainer you can look up is the point.
Ask what a finished VAPT report or SOC investigation actually looks like. If an institute cannot show you the output, the projects are a line on a brochure.
Our full 25-module syllabus is on this page. Compare it module by module with anyone else you are considering — particularly on SIEM, MITRE ATT&CK and GRC.
Ask how many hours a day you can reach the lab, and on whose infrastructure. Hands-on time is the difference between a certificate and a skill.

Three things specific to this city and this year.
The global capability centres in Hitech City, Gachibowli and Madhapur operate round-the-clock security operations for parent companies abroad. Those SOCs hire locally, in shifts, continuously.
Most learners arrive wanting to be ethical hackers. Most open roles are SOC, SIEM and incident response. Training that covers both sides gives you the larger share of the market.
Security hiring leans on demonstrated ability — a VAPT report, a SOC investigation, a CTF result. A portfolio counts more here than in most IT fields.
Is cyber security a good career? Yes, if you can investigate and explain, not just run a tool. The demand is for people who have worked real alerts.
Can a fresher get in? Yes. SOC Analyst is the standard entry point in Hyderabad and hires from outside computer science regularly.
How do I start? Networking, then operating systems, then offensive basics, then SOC and SIEM, then projects and certification. In that order.
The twenty questions counsellors are asked most often, answered plainly.
It is instructor-led training in defensive and offensive security — SOC operations, SIEM, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, ethical hacking, incident response and forensics. Cyber Security Academy delivers it as classroom training in Kukatpally and as live online batches over three months.
Three months. Classroom and live online batches follow the same 25-module syllabus over that period, with weekday and weekend options so you can fit it around work.
Classroom training is ₹32,000, live online training is ₹25,000 and the recorded video course is ₹9,999. EMI and two-instalment payment options are available. Certification exam fees are paid separately to the certifying body.
No. The course begins with networking fundamentals and operating system basics before any security tooling. IT support engineers, testers, developers and complete beginners all start from the same point.
Yes. Live online batches run the same syllabus with the same trainer, with daily recorded sessions for revision and LMS access to learning materials.
Yes, at Manjeera Trinity Corporate in Kukatpally Housing Board Colony. Learners travel from KPHB, JNTU, Ameerpet, Madhapur, Hitech City and Gachibowli.
More than twenty, with 24/7 lab access. Kali Linux, Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Splunk, QRadar, Wazuh, Autopsy, Volatility and others, used in labs rather than demonstrated on a slide.
ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) is the usual starting point for freshers at around $199. CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) follows for SOC and network security roles. CEH and OSCP suit offensive paths later, once you have hands-on experience.
Yes. Modules 10 and 11 cover SOC roles, alert triage, SIEM architecture, log sources and correlation rules, and the SOC monitoring capstone puts them together. SIEM is the most-hired skill on this syllabus.
Yes, across modules 4 to 8: reconnaissance, network penetration testing, web application security against the OWASP Top 10, and API and mobile testing.
Yes. Six capstone projects plus four practical assignments and two Capture The Flag challenges. Each project produces something you can walk an interviewer through.
Yes, as its own module. You map real attack chains onto ATT&CK tactics and techniques and identify detection coverage gaps — the framework serious blue teams work to.
Yes. Shared responsibility, cloud identity and access management, cloud network security and a cloud configuration audit lab.
Yes, as a dedicated module: AI-assisted threat detection, AI in SOC operations, and the new attack surface AI introduces. Most syllabuses in this market have not caught up yet.
SOC Analyst, Cyber Security Analyst, Information Security Analyst, SIEM Analyst, VAPT Analyst, Network Security Analyst and Junior GRC Analyst are the common entry points in the Hyderabad market.
Entry-level SOC and security analyst roles in Hyderabad commonly advertise around ₹3.5–7 LPA, rising to ₹7–13 LPA at three to five years. These are indicative market ranges, not a guarantee.
Yes: resume building, LinkedIn profile improvement, job-role selection, technical interview preparation, mock interviews, project presentation and job applications. We do not guarantee placement.
An internship certificate is included with the classroom programme, based on the capstone project work you complete.
Yes. Book a free demo class and sit in on a real session — the trainer, the pace, the labs and the batch you would actually join.
No. We do not guarantee placement or any salary outcome. What we provide is job-oriented training, a project portfolio, interview preparation and placement assistance. The hiring decision belongs to the employer.
Sit in on a live session before you commit. You will see the curriculum, the trainer, the lab setup, the batch timings and how the projects work.
No obligation. Speak with a course counsellor and find out whether this programme is right for you.
