Certified Cyber Protocol Professional
Defend a live network with muscle memory. Ten chapters, ten simulations, one credential your SOC can trust in an incident.
A SOC engineer who reads a suspicious sign-in and can name the ATT&CK sub-technique inside a minute. A junior CISO who can brief their board on Tuesday and mean every sentence.
Ten chapters — Zero Trust, incident response, cloud identity, OWASP Top 10 (2021), phishing-resistant MFA, SEC 17 CFR §229.106 disclosure discipline. Ten graded assessments. Applied labs throughout.
Self-paced · ~40 hours over 4–6 weeks. Optional live cohort review. One-year credential validity, three-year renewal cadence with a refresher paper.
Security engineers, penetration testers, red/blue teamers, and skilled generalists.
- 1.Strong grasp of networking and systems fundamentals
- 2.Experience with Linux, scripting, and vulnerability tools
- 3.Entry exam completion or equivalent field experience
CCPP is the foundation. Deepen into a specialisation.
Each stripe stacks onto CCPP as a credential in its own right, with its own curriculum and assessments. Bundle a stripe with CCPP at enrolment and pay 10 % less than buying them separately.
AI/ML Security
LLM red-teaming, prompt-injection taxonomy, model-supply-chain provenance, and MLSecOps pipeline hardening — the practitioner tier for the security engineer whose org just deployed an AI product.
Cloud Security Architect
Multi-cloud identity, workload isolation, and blast-radius design — for the practitioner who owns the cloud posture beyond identity basics.
Application & API Security
OWASP Top 10 + API Top 10 + business-logic testing, drilled at the intensity a modern product security team needs.
Post-Quantum Cryptography
NIST FIPS 203/204/205, cryptographic-agility patterns, and a migration plan the CISO can actually sign — the practitioner-tier stripe for the organisation that decided PQC is a 2026 problem, not a 2030 one.
