Basic computer knowledge. Networking taught from scratch.
What we do, stated plainly, and what we do not claim.
Your CV is rebuilt around the nine investigations you actually documented, using the terms SOC hiring managers screen for.
Technical rounds on SIEM, logs and triage, plus the scenario round every SOC interview uses: here is an alert, what do you check first?
SOC L1, SIEM engineering and detection engineering 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 SOC 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 security providers and consulting firms running security operations from 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 SOC Analyst training in Hyderabad follows the path an analyst actually takes: computer and networking basics, then Windows, Linux and Active Directory, then SIEM, then alert triage and investigation. You search real sample security events rather than reading definitions.
Fourteen modules cover Splunk with SPL, Microsoft Sentinel with KQL, QRadar, endpoint investigation with Sysmon and Defender XDR, phishing analysis, threat intelligence, MITRE ATT&CK, incident response and detection engineering.
It finishes with nine investigation projects — failed logins, brute force, phishing, suspicious PowerShell, malware, network traffic, account compromise, a SIEM detection build and an ATT&CK mapping exercise.
Sit in on a real session before you commit — no obligation.
Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel and QRadar. Job descriptions name different tools, so we cover the three you will actually meet.
Modules 6 to 8The ten-step triage process, run repeatedly against real sample events until it is automatic.
Module 9Not slides about SIEM. You write SPL and KQL against sample security data from the first SIEM module.
Hands-onWindows, Linux, authentication, AD, firewall, VPN, DNS, proxy, web server, email, endpoint and cloud.
Module 9Three modules before any SOC tool, so non-technical learners are not lost in week three.
Modules 1 to 3Sysmon, process trees, command lines and Defender XDR. Where most confirmed incidents are proven.
Module 10Headers, URLs, attachments and IOCs — the most common real task in an entry-level SOC.
Module 11Map observed activity to techniques and find detection gaps, the way a real blue team does.
Module 12Writing and tuning detections is what moves an analyst from L1 to L2. It is a module, not a footnote.
Module 14Each one ends in written investigation notes — the actual deliverable of a SOC shift.

Twelve concrete capabilities you walk out with, aligned to what SOC hiring managers screen for.
Reading an alert, checking the user, host, time and related events, then deciding severity.
Writing SPL and KQL queries to pull the events an investigation needs.
Indexes, sourcetypes, searches, dashboards and alerting.
Cloud SIEM, KQL hunting and Defender XDR integration.
Windows, Linux, authentication, firewall, VPN, DNS, proxy and cloud logs.
Headers, URLs, attachments and indicators, end to end.
Processes, command lines, parent-child chains and file activity.
IOCs, feeds and enrichment, turned into usable detection.
Mapping observed activity to techniques and spotting coverage gaps.
Containment, eradication, recovery and clean documentation.
Writing and tuning detections, and reducing false positives.
Writing up what you found so an L2 can act on it. This is what gets you promoted.
Nine investigations, run against real sample security events. Each one ends in written investigation notes, which is the actual deliverable of the job.
Suitable for a wide range of learners. No prior security experience is required to start.
Start from computer and networking basics. No prior security experience needed.
Ticket handling and troubleshooting transfer directly into alert triage.
You already read traffic. Learn to read it as an investigator.
Windows, Linux and AD knowledge is exactly what SOC investigations use.
SOC L1 hires from outside computer science regularly, on practical evidence.
Methodical investigation habits map well onto triage work.
A structured path from a non-security background into a night-shift-ready SOC role.
Ready to move from IT support or study into a shift-ready L1 analyst role? This is the standard on-ramp.
SIEM · Triage · EDR · Incident responseCertifications help. Practical evidence helps more. Here is the sequence that fits a SOC career.
You do not need every certification. Choose based on your experience, your target job, the tools your target employers actually run, and your budget. A candidate with nine documented investigations and Security+ will usually beat a candidate with four certificates and no evidence. Certification names, rules and fees change, so check 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 investigations you documented. It is separate from any vendor certification, which is issued by the certifying body.

Lead trainer, security operations and threat detection.
10+ years of industry experience, teaching SIEM, alert triage, endpoint investigation and incident response from the perspective of someone who has worked real alert queues rather than only studied them.
Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar, alert triage, endpoint investigation, threat intelligence and incident response.
Every concept lands in a lab the same session. No module ends without an investigation actually run.
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 14-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 alert investigation write-up looks like. In a SOC the notes are the deliverable. If an institute cannot show you one, the projects 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 whether you search real sample events or watch a demonstration. Hands-on SIEM time is the whole difference.

Three things specific to this city and this year.
The global capability centres in Hitech City, Gachibowli and Madhapur operate 24/7 security monitoring for parent companies abroad. Shift coverage means continuous, structured L1 hiring.
Most learners want to be ethical hackers. Most open security roles are SOC. L1 is the one security job that hires freshers in volume, and it leads everywhere else.
SOC interviews are scenario-based: here is an alert, what do you check first? Nine documented investigations answer that question better than any certificate.
Is SOC a good career in 2026? Yes, if you can investigate methodically and write up what you found. The demand is for people who work alerts properly, not people who close tickets.
Can a fresher get in? Yes. SOC L1 is the standard entry point in Hyderabad and hires from outside computer science regularly, on the strength of practical evidence.
How do I start? Computer basics, networking, Windows and Linux, security basics, logs, SIEM, alert triage, investigation, then projects. In that order.
The twenty questions counsellors are asked most often, answered plainly.
It is instructor-led training in security monitoring and investigation — SIEM, log analysis, alert triage, endpoint investigation, phishing analysis, threat intelligence and incident response. Cyber Security Academy delivers it as classroom training in Kukatpally and as live online batches across 14 modules over three months.
A SOC Analyst monitors security alerts in a Security Operations Centre, investigates whether an alert is normal activity, a false positive or a real threat, gathers evidence, escalates when required and writes investigation notes. It is the most common entry point into a cyber security career.
Yes, and it is the standard route in. You do not need advanced security knowledge to start. The path runs computer basics, networking, Windows and Linux, security basics, logs, SIEM, alert triage, investigation, then projects. Practical practice matters more than theory.
Three months. Classroom and live online batches follow the same 14-module syllabus, 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 course is ₹9,999. Corporate training is quoted separately. EMI and two-instalment payment options are available.
Three: Splunk with SPL, Microsoft Sentinel with KQL alongside Defender XDR, and IBM QRadar. Wazuh is used for open-source SIEM and endpoint labs. Between them these cover the large majority of SOC job descriptions in Hyderabad.
Yes, as its own module: Splunk architecture, indexes, sourcetypes, the SPL search language, dashboards and alerting. You write real searches against sample security events rather than watching a demonstration.
Yes, as its own module covering Sentinel workspaces, KQL hunting queries and Defender XDR. This is the same ground Microsoft SC-200 examines.
The core daily work of an L1 analyst: read the alert, check the affected user and host, check the time and source IP, correlate related events, look for suspicious indicators, decide severity, collect evidence, escalate if needed and write investigation notes. We drill this ten-step process against real alerts.
Windows, Linux, authentication, Active Directory, firewall, VPN, DNS, proxy, web server, email security, endpoint and cloud logs. Reading logs fluently is what separates an analyst from a ticket closer.
L1 monitors and triages alerts. L2 performs deeper investigation and incident analysis using EDR, threat intelligence and advanced SIEM. L3 does threat hunting and complex attack analysis. Most beginners should aim to be genuinely good at L1 first.
Yes, nine investigation projects: failed login, brute force, phishing, suspicious PowerShell, malware alert, suspicious network traffic, compromised account, a SIEM detection build and a MITRE ATT&CK mapping exercise.
Yes. You map observed attack activity to tactics and techniques and identify where detection coverage is missing — the framework serious blue teams work to, and a common interview topic.
Yes, as its own module: the IR lifecycle, containment, eradication, recovery and documentation. Handing an incident over cleanly is what an L2 checks when reviewing your work.
CompTIA Security+ for fundamentals, Microsoft SC-200 for Sentinel and Defender operations, Certified SOC Analyst for SOC basics, and the Splunk certification path for SIEM depth. You do not need all of them. Pick based on the tools your target employers actually run. Certification names, rules and fees change, so check with the provider before booking.
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.
L1 roles commonly advertise around ₹3.5–6 LPA, rising to ₹7–13 LPA at L2 with three to five years of experience. These are indicative market ranges, not a guarantee.
Yes: skill assessment, resume preparation, LinkedIn support, mock interviews, SOC scenario-based interview practice 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, nine documented investigations as a 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.
