None. OSI, TCP/IP and subnetting taught from scratch.
What we do, stated plainly, and what we do not claim.
Your CV is rebuilt around the five network projects you actually built, using the terms infrastructure hiring managers screen for.
Technical rounds on subnetting, firewall rules, TLS and segmentation, plus the round every network interview uses: design a secure network for this scenario.
Firewall administration, network security engineering and security architecture are different paths. We help you pick the one that fits how you work.
Headline, skills, certifications and project section, so recruiter search surfaces you for network 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.
MNCs, global capability centres, managed service providers and network operations teams advertising network and infrastructure security roles in Hyderabad. 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 network security course in Hyderabad follows a network from the bottom up: OSI and TCP/IP, addressing and subnetting, protocols and services, then traffic analysis, then the controls — firewalls, IDS and IPS, VPN, segmentation, wireless and network access control.
Eighteen modules cover cryptography for networks, network attacks and their countermeasures, monitoring and logging, Zero Trust architecture, cloud network security and secure network design. You configure the controls rather than watch them demonstrated.
It finishes with five documented projects — a firewall build and rule audit, a segmentation design, a traffic investigation, a wireless assessment and a full architecture review.
Sit in on a real session before you commit — no obligation.
IPv4, IPv6 and CIDR designed rather than memorised. It is the first thing every network security interview tests.
Module 3Design a rule set from scratch, apply least privilege, then audit and document every rule.
Module 6Signature versus anomaly detection, and keeping false positives under control with Snort, Suricata and Zeek.
Module 7VLANs, DMZ design and east-west control. Segmentation is what turns a breach into a contained incident.
Module 9IPsec and TLS tunnels configured and tested with OpenVPN and WireGuard.
Module 8Micro-segmentation, identity-centric access and continuous verification. Where enterprise design is heading.
Module 15Virtual networks, security groups, cloud firewalls and hybrid connectivity, with an exposure review lab.
Module 16Spoofing, man in the middle, DoS and DNS attacks observed in a lab, then the control that stops each one.
Module 13Certificates, the handshake and cipher selection. The question interviews ask most and candidates answer worst.
Module 12Firewall build, segmentation design, traffic investigation, wireless assessment and architecture review.
Module 18In-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.
Ask a counsellorEighteen modules that follow a network from the physical layer to Zero Trust architecture. Expand any module to see the topics, the lab and the outcome.
What network security actually protects, and against what.
Every control you will configure sits on one of these layers.
The skill interviews test first and beginners skip.
Knowing what should be listening, so you notice what should not be.
Reading a network the way an investigator does.
The single most-configured device in network security.
Seeing the attack that got past the firewall.
How remote work is secured, and how it goes wrong.
Limiting how far an intruder can move.
The perimeter that has no cable.
Deciding what is allowed on the network at all.
What actually protects data in transit.
The attacks these controls exist to stop.
You cannot defend what you are not watching.
Where enterprise network design is heading.
The network moved, and the controls changed shape.
Designing a network that resists attack by default.

Ready to move from running a network to securing one? This is the on-ramp.
Firewalls · IDS · VPN · Zero TrustCertifications help. Configured, documented work helps more. Here is the sequence that fits a network security career.
You do not need every certification. Network+ then Security+ covers the ground most Hyderabad job descriptions ask for, and vendor tracks such as Cisco, Fortinet or Palo Alto follow once you know which platform your employer runs. A candidate with a documented firewall build and segmentation design will usually beat a candidate with certificates and nothing configured. Certification names, formats and prices change, so verify with the provider before booking.
On completing the programme you receive a Cyber Security Academy course completion certificate — a record of the modules you finished and the network projects you built. It is separate from any vendor certification, which is issued by the certifying body.
Sample · course completion certificate
Lead trainer, network and infrastructure security.
10+ years of industry experience, teaching firewalls, intrusion detection, VPN, segmentation and secure network design from the perspective of someone who has built and defended production networks rather than only studied them.
Firewalls, IDS and IPS, VPN and remote access, segmentation, wireless security, network monitoring and Zero Trust design.
Every concept lands in a lab the same session. No module ends without something configured and documented.
1:1 career mentorship and guidance on which certification path fits your background and budget.
Doubt-clearing sessions, technical support and WhatsApp learning support between classes.
Three ways to take the same 18-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 what a finished firewall build and audit looks like. If an institute cannot show you configured output, the labs are a line on a brochure.
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.
Ask if you build the firewall, tunnel and VLANs yourself or watch the trainer do it. That difference is the whole course.
Our full 18-module syllabus is on this page. Compare it module by module — particularly on Zero Trust, cloud network security and network access control, which most syllabuses skip.

Three things specific to this city and this year.
Flat networks are why a single compromised laptop becomes a company-wide incident. Segmentation and micro-segmentation projects are running across Hyderabad enterprises right now.
Enterprises are moving from perimeter trust to identity-centric access. That transition needs engineers who understand both the old network and the new model.
Virtual networks, security groups and hybrid links are network security work with different names. Engineers who can do both on-premises and cloud are the scarce ones.
Is network security a good career in 2026? Yes, and it is more stable than most security niches. Every organisation runs a network, and firewalls, VPNs and segmentation need people to build and maintain them continuously.
Can a fresher get in? Yes. Network security roles hire from networking and IT support backgrounds regularly, and a documented firewall build carries real weight in an interview.
How do I start? OSI and TCP/IP, then addressing and subnetting, then traffic analysis, then firewalls, IDS, VPN and segmentation, then architecture. In that order.
The twenty questions counsellors are asked most often, answered plainly.
It is instructor-led training in securing networks — firewalls, IDS and IPS, VPNs, segmentation, wireless security, network authentication, monitoring and secure architecture. Cyber Security Academy delivers it as classroom training in Kukatpally and as live online batches across 18 modules over three months.
Network security is the set of controls that protect data as it moves across a network: firewalls that decide what traffic is allowed, IDS and IPS that detect and block attacks, VPNs that encrypt remote access, segmentation that limits how far an intruder can move, and monitoring that shows what is actually happening.
Eighteen modules: fundamentals, OSI and TCP/IP, IP addressing and subnetting, protocols and services, traffic analysis, firewalls, IDS and IPS, VPN, segmentation and VLANs, wireless security, network authentication and NAC, cryptography, network attacks and countermeasures, monitoring and logging, Zero Trust architecture, cloud network security, secure network design, and capstone assessments.
Classroom training is ₹32,000, live online training is ₹25,000 and the recorded course is ₹9,999. EMI and two-instalment payment options are available. Certification exam fees are paid separately to the certifying body.
Three months. Classroom and live online batches follow the same 18-module syllabus, with weekday and weekend options so you can fit it around work.
Yes. It starts with OSI and TCP/IP, IP addressing and subnetting before any security appliance is introduced. No prior networking or security experience is required.
No. CCNA-level routing and switching knowledge helps and will let you move faster through the first four modules, but the course teaches networking from the ground up for learners who do not have it.
Yes. Live online batches run the same syllabus with the same trainer, with remote lab practice, recorded sessions and LMS access.
Yes, at Manjeera Trinity Corporate in Kukatpally Housing Board Colony. Learners travel from KPHB, JNTU, Ameerpet, Madhapur, Hitech City and Gachibowli.
Yes. You design a rule set from scratch, apply least privilege and then audit and document every rule. Firewall configuration and rule review is the most common single task in a network security role.
Yes, as their own module: the difference between detection and prevention, signature versus anomaly detection, rule tuning and false positive management, practised with Snort, Suricata and Zeek.
Yes. IPsec and TLS VPNs, split tunnelling and remote access policy, with a lab building and testing a site-to-site tunnel using OpenVPN and WireGuard.
Yes. Wi-Fi protocols, WPA2 and WPA3, rogue access point detection and wireless hardening, with a full assessment lab.
Yes, as its own module: Zero Trust principles, micro-segmentation, identity-centric access and continuous verification. It is the model most enterprises are migrating toward.
Yes. Virtual networks, security groups, cloud firewalls and hybrid connectivity, with a lab reviewing a cloud network configuration for exposure.
Five: a firewall build and rule audit, a network segmentation design, a traffic investigation, a wireless security assessment and a secure network architecture review. Each produces documented work.
Network Security Engineer, Network Security Analyst, Firewall Administrator, Infrastructure Security Engineer, Cloud Network Security Engineer and NOC Engineer are the common entry points in the Hyderabad market.
Entry-level network security roles commonly advertise around ₹3.5–7 LPA, rising to ₹8–15 LPA at three to five years. These are indicative market ranges, not a guarantee.
Yes: resume preparation built around your five documented projects, LinkedIn support, technical interview preparation, mock interviews and job application support. We do not guarantee placement.
No. We do not guarantee placement or any salary outcome. What we provide is job-oriented training, five documented projects as a portfolio, interview preparation and placement assistance. The hiring decision belongs to the employer.
