You aren't just learning from an academic — you are training with a seasoned practitioner and award-winning educator who has spent his career on the front lines of enterprise vulnerability analysis and workforce readiness.
Lead Cybersecurity Instructor & Curriculum Developer
A seasoned practitioner and award-winning educator who trains not only students but other educators to teach cybersecurity. Ben specializes in outcome-based education and bridging the gap between rigorous classroom theory and immediate industry employability.
"Learn once, apply many times."
Ben's approach is rooted in practical, keyboard-heavy mastery: ATS-optimized portfolios, rigorous interview preparation, and the exact hands-on skills required to command top-tier roles in the hyper-competitive 2026 job market.
The first 12 weeks build a rigorous academic baseline of foundational theory and hands-on practice. Weeks 13–24 are dedicated exclusively to advanced, market-ready skills, AI-augmented defense operations, portfolio development, and career attainment. Each week: Class 1 (Theory) + Class 2 (Hands-On).
Kick off with bootcamp orientation and a tour of the modern cybersecurity landscape and the roles you can target. Then establish the technical baseline every analyst needs: IT computing fundamentals — hardware, operating systems, and Windows/Linux — followed by core networking, from IP addressing and ports to protocols and the OSI Model.
Theory (Class 1)
Hands-On (Class 2)
The academic core of the program. Across ten weeks you move from security principles and applied cryptography through threats and attack vectors, secure architecture and cloud, endpoint and application security, identity and access management, vulnerability management, SOC monitoring, incident response, and governance, risk & compliance — closing with a comprehensive assessment and CTF readiness.
Theory (Class 1)
Hands-On (Class 2)
Adopt the offensive mindset with Linux for hackers and structured attack methodologies. Run network reconnaissance and OSINT investigations, then move into web application security across the OWASP Top 10 — intercepting and exploiting traffic with Burp Suite — before finishing with API security engineering: the OWASP API Top 10, Postman fuzzing, and JWT manipulation.
Theory (Class 1)
Hands-On (Class 2)
Learn Python fundamentals for security operations and automate the repetitive work: log parsing and IOC extraction. Study generative AI architecture and the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, then red-team models with prompt injection and jailbreaking. Finally, turn AI into a defensive force multiplier — using LLMs for automated threat hunting and SIEM alert triage.
Theory (Class 1)
Hands-On (Class 2)
Secure containerized environments with Docker and Kubernetes, then defend against Docker misconfigurations and privilege escalation. Move up to advanced Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), monitoring and securing AWS and Azure infrastructure in hands-on labs.
Theory (Class 1)
Hands-On (Class 2)
Build your professional brand with ATS-optimized resumes and LinkedIn SEO, and construct a public GitHub portfolio of Sigma rules, Python scripts, and write-ups. Learn to translate technical risk to business stakeholders, then execute a live capstone — a simulated attack/defense lab — presenting your findings to a panel. Close with technical mock interviews, job-search tactics, and graduation.
Theory (Class 1)
Hands-On (Class 2)
Strictly aligned with the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework. Our philosophy is simple: "Learn once, apply many times." Every concept is immediately executed hands-on in a secure lab environment.
IT computing basics, network architecture (OSI Model, IP addressing), and applied cryptography.
Log analysis, SIEM operations (Splunk/Sentinel), and executing the Incident Response lifecycle (PICERL).
Network reconnaissance (Nmap), OSINT investigations, and web application exploitation (OWASP Top 10) using Burp Suite.
Python automation for log parsing, LLM-powered threat hunting, and testing AI systems for vulnerabilities like Prompt Injection.
Securing containerized environments (Docker) and monitoring AWS/Azure Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM).
Tenable, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nmap, Wireshark — plus risk registers, NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA.
By graduation, you'll be fluent in the exact tools listed in U.S. cybersecurity job descriptions.

The program is 6 months long, with live classes held twice a week for approximately 2 hours per session. You do not need prior coding experience or an IT degree to join — success is driven by skill and personal dedication rather than prior academic background.
Students work from home in a browser-based environment. If you choose to run local virtual machines, a minimum of 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended) and an i5/Ryzen 5 processor is required. Linux is heavily emphasized as the foundational operating system for the offensive security tools you will learn.
The curriculum covers material for several major certifications (additional self-study is expected for specific exams): foundational certs like CompTIA Security+ and Microsoft SC-900; offensive security certs like CEH, CompTIA PenTest+, and eJPT; and Blue Team certs including Cisco CyberOps Associate, CySA+, and BTL1. Exam vouchers are not included, but the intensive lab work ensures you are fully equipped to pass.
Yes. You will learn industry-standard tools such as Tenable for vulnerability management, as well as Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nmap, and Wireshark. The curriculum also covers crucial GRC frameworks, including risk registers, NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA.
There is a critical global shortage of cybersecurity professionals, with demand for skilled analysts significantly outpacing the available workforce. Graduates are equipped to pursue high-value roles such as Security Consultant, Penetration Tester, AI Red Team Operator, and Threat Intelligence Analyst, with estimated 2026 starting salaries ranging from $90,000 to $345,000.
While no ethical program "guarantees" a job, Transfotech Academy provides a highly structured path to employment: career counseling, interview preparation, portfolio building (GitHub/LinkedIn), and lifetime job support. This placement support is also available to international students.
Instructors dedicate approximately four to five hours per week to student support, including office hours and responsive communication through WhatsApp groups. All class recordings, learning materials, and syllabi are accessible through the LMS.
Transfotech is E-Verify certified through the USCIS, which means the organization is authorized to confirm the employment eligibility of its staff — a professional verification of the organization's standing regarding federal employment eligibility, distinct from traditional academic accreditation.
