Course Content
12 weeks. Every week has a purpose.
- →The CIA Triad explained practically — how confidentiality, integrity, and availability shape every security decision
- →Networking fundamentals every security professional must own: TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, ports, and the OSI model
- →Linux command line for security work — navigating, scripting, and working in the environments where threats live
- →Lab: Set up your complete security lab with Kali Linux and run your first reconnaissance scan
- →Firewalls, VPNs, and DMZ architecture — designing networks that are hard to attack from the outside
- →Packet analysis with Wireshark: reading real network traffic and spotting what doesn't belong
- →Intrusion Detection Systems — deploying Snort and Suricata to alert on threats automatically
- →Lab: Detect, log, and analyse a simulated network intrusion in real time
- →OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities explained with real examples — broken authentication, injection, misconfigurations
- →The full pentest methodology: reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, exploitation, and reporting
- →Hands-on with Metasploit, Nmap, and Burp Suite — the actual tools professional pentesters use every day
- →Lab: Conduct a full penetration test against a live vulnerable web application and write a professional report
- →SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and CSRF attacks — find them, exploit them, and fix them
- →Secure coding principles: what developers need to build in from the start instead of patching later
- →API security testing — attacking and defending REST APIs, which most modern applications rely on
- →Lab: Discover, document, and write up 5 real CVEs in a controlled environment
- →The incident response lifecycle in full: Prepare → Identify → Contain → Eradicate → Recover → Review
- →Log analysis and SIEM fundamentals with Splunk — correlating events to uncover what really happened
- →Malware analysis basics — static and dynamic analysis to understand what a threat actually does
- →Lab: Investigate a simulated security breach from first alert through to executive incident report
- →ISO 27001, NDPR, and GDPR — what they actually require and how to advise organisations on compliance
- →Writing professional-grade security audit reports that stakeholders and regulators understand and act on
- →CV writing, LinkedIn optimisation, and interview preparation tailored for security roles in African tech
- →Capstone: End-to-end security assessment of a real-world system — presented as a full client deliverable
Who Should Take the Course
Created for Everyone
You do not need any prior security or tech experience. You only need to be ready to learn how to protect systems, detect threats, and build a career in one of the most in-demand fields in tech.

from Cybersecurity.
Four months before landing this job I had never heard of Metasploit. Labano's cybersecurity course is the real thing — practical labs, instructors who've actually done the work, and a curriculum that maps directly to what employers test for.
The incident response module was worth the entire course fee on its own. I used those exact frameworks — the same playbooks, the same Splunk queries — in my first week on the job.
I took the course expecting to find a job. What I found instead was a business. Within three months of graduating I had two consulting clients — SMEs in Accra who needed basic security audits.
