Prerequisites
None. Networking and OS basics are taught from scratch.
Placement support and career outcomes
What we do, stated plainly, and what we do not claim.
Resume and portfolio review
Your CV is rebuilt around the VAPT reports and SOC investigations you actually produced, using the terms security recruiters screen for.
Mock interviews
Technical rounds on SIEM, networking, OWASP and incident response, plus a scenario round on how you would triage a live alert. Practise beforehand with our cybersecurity interview questions and answers.
Job-role selection
SOC, VAPT, GRC and network security are different careers. We help you pick the one that matches how you actually work.
LinkedIn profile setup
Headline, skills, certifications and project section, so recruiter search surfaces you for security roles.
Internship certificate
The classroom programme includes an internship certificate based on your completed capstone project work.
What we don't promise
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.
Why choose Cyber Security Academy in Hyderabad
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 our Nizampet X Roads centre, near JNTU. Live online batches run the same syllabus with the same trainer, with daily recordings for revision.

SOC and SIEM taught in depth
Two full modules plus a monitoring capstone. SIEM is the single most-hired skill in the Hyderabad security market.
Offence and defence together
Ethical hacking and VAPT alongside detection and response, so you understand both sides of an incident.
20+ tools with 24/7 lab access
Kali, Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Splunk, QRadar and more, used rather than demonstrated.
Live instructor-led sessions
Every session is taught live. Recordings are a backup for missed classes, not the course itself.
Networking taught from zero
Two modules before any security tool, so non-technical learners are not left behind in week three.
MITRE ATT&CK as its own module
Threat-informed defence, detection mapping and coverage gaps — the framework serious blue teams work to.
AI in cyber security
A dedicated module on AI-assisted detection and the new attack surface AI creates. Most syllabuses have not caught up.
GRC included, not skipped
Governance, risk and compliance with ISO 27001 and NIST — a steady hiring path most courses ignore.
Six capstone projects
Web VAPT, SOC monitoring, network pentest, red vs blue, forensics and phishing investigation.
Capture The Flag challenges
Two CTF challenges and four practical assignments, so you practise under pressure.
Classroom option in Kukatpally
In-person batches at our Nizampet X Roads centre, plus live online for everyone else.
EMI and instalment options
Classroom and online fees can be paid in EMI or two instalments.

Check us out before you enrol
We would rather you verify everything than take our word for it. Here is exactly how.
Sit in on a live class
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.
Read our Google reviews
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.
Read reviews on GoogleAsk for the trainer's background
Ask the counsellor about the trainer's industry experience and check it yourself. A named trainer you can look up is the point.
Ask to see a past project
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.
Compare the syllabus
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 about lab access
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.

Category-level comparison. We do not name competitors, and every row is something you can check before enrolling.
Why cyber security is a strong career in Hyderabad in 2026
Three things specific to this city and this year.
Hyderabad runs the SOCs
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.
Defence outnumbers offence
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.
The entry barrier is skills, not degrees
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.
Common questions, answered directly
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.
Frequently asked questions
The twenty questions counsellors are asked most often, answered plainly.
What is the Cyber Security course in Hyderabad?
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.
What is the duration of the course?
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.
What is the Cyber Security course fee in Hyderabad?
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.
Do I need a technical background to start?
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.
Is the training available online?
Yes. Live online batches run the same syllabus with the same trainer, with daily recorded sessions for revision and LMS access to learning materials.
Is classroom training available in Hyderabad?
Yes, at Dr Atmaram Estates, Nizampet X Roads, near JNTU. Learners travel from KPHB, JNTU, Ameerpet, Madhapur, Hitech City and Gachibowli.
How many tools will I actually use?
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.
Which certification should I start with in 2026?
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.
Is SOC and SIEM covered in depth?
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.
Is ethical hacking included?
Yes, across modules 4 to 8: reconnaissance, network penetration testing, web application security against the OWASP Top 10, and API and mobile testing.
Are real projects included?
Yes. Six capstone projects plus four practical assignments and two Capture The Flag challenges. Each project produces something you can walk an interviewer through.
Is MITRE ATT&CK covered?
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.
Is cloud security part of the course?
Yes. Shared responsibility, cloud identity and access management, cloud network security and a cloud configuration audit lab.
Do you cover AI in cyber security?
Yes, as a dedicated module: AI-assisted threat detection, AI in SOC operations, and the new attack surface AI introduces. The curriculum includes AI-assisted security operations and AI-related security risks as part of the 2026 syllabus.
What job roles can I apply for after the course?
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.
What salary can a fresher expect in Hyderabad?
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.
Is placement assistance provided?
Yes: resume building, LinkedIn profile improvement, job-role selection, technical interview preparation, mock interviews, project presentation and job applications. We do not guarantee placement.
Is there an internship?
An internship certificate is included with the classroom programme, based on the capstone project work you complete.
Can I attend a demo before paying?
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.
Is there a job guarantee?
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.
