What you get
A programme built around doing, not watching
Every module ends in something you have built, broken or defended — because that is what an interview will ask you about.
Mentor reviews
Your work is read by someone who has done the job, with specific feedback instead of a pass mark.
Portfolio projects
Finish with work you can show and talk through, from detection rules to full assessment reports.
Interview preparation
Mock interviews, scenario questions and the reasoning patterns panels look for.
An active community
Learn alongside people at the same stage, with mentors in the same room.
Why it works

- You start from where you are The assessment places you honestly, so you are not sitting through material you already know.
- No prior security background needed Fundamentals are taught properly first. Curiosity and consistency matter more than a degree.
- Fits around a job or college Recorded sessions and flexible labs, so the work fits the time you have.
- You are never guessing what to do next A clear path from your current level to your target role, reviewed as you go.
- Skills that transfer Tooling changes constantly, so the focus is on the reasoning underneath it.
- Support that outlasts the syllabus Community and mentor access continue while you are interviewing.

Why Cyber Nanban
Taught by practitioners, for learners in India and beyond
Cyber Nanban has spent years making security education understandable — in plain language, without gatekeeping, and without pretending the work is easier than it is.
- Practitioner-led Taught by people doing the work, not reading from a vendor deck.
- Plain-language teaching Complex ideas explained clearly, so nothing is memorised without being understood.
- Ethics taken seriously Offensive technique is taught with the responsibility that has to come with it.
- Answerable to learners An open community where questions get answered by name, not by ticket number.

Sakthi Prasanna's mentorship boosted both my confidence and my skills. His technical depth is real, and his guidance arrived at the moments it actually mattered rather than after the fact.

I started with no prior cyber security knowledge. Sakthi Prasanna guided me step by step, and was honest with me about how far I had to go, which is why I trusted the direction he set.
