Founded by former National Security Agency (NSA) analysts, Level Effect is a cybersecurity education and training provider offering a 12-week Cyber Defense Analyst (CDA) Program. Students engage in hands-on, immersive learning that helps them master the skills needed to defend and protect an organization’s network. Students begin the course with a rudimentary understanding of cybersecurity and finish with the skills and knowledge they need to start a career in cybersecurity. Classes are live and take place Monday through Thursday from 7-9pm CT. Students can expect to spend between 15 to 20 hours per week (including live sessions) completing the required work.

The content is structured so that every module builds off of the techniques and tools learned from previous ones. As students progress through the course, they’ll learn new tools and techniques while strengthening their knowledge of those they’ve already learned. Throughout the program, students learn about network and email security, endpoint incident response, network and endpoint log analytics, digital forensics, and threat intelligence and security operations. In the last four weeks of the course, students are immersed in a virtual Security Operations Center (SOC) environment to provide them with realistic, on-the-job training and experience to make them career-ready.

At the end of the course, students have the opportunity to showcase their skills by earning a Cyber Defense Certified Professional (CDCP) certification. This capstone assignment engages students in a number of real-world security operations scenarios that they must overcome while articulating solutions in a detailed report. Students who earn this certification have demonstrated that they have the knowledge and skills to work within a security operations team and is a great staple for any cybersecurity resume.

The only knowledge I have is from 1 networking class I had taken in college, and from reading the security + study guide. I came into this class very nervous not ...
