Collins Infosec Introduces Project Security: A Practical Cybersecurity Learning Platform
In this video, Collins Infosec introduces Project Security, a learning platform dedicated to cybersecurity. The program is designed to help beginners get started in the field of cybersecurity with a practical approach from day one, as well as individuals looking to enhance their IT and security skills while building a solid portfolio.
One of the strengths of Project Security is its practical approach without boring slides. Participants work directly on concrete projects, allowing them to develop technical skills and a practical problem-solving mindset, essential for security professionals. Unlike other platforms that offer one-off tutorials or "boxes," Project Security provides a complete and continuous program with no expiration date. By the end of the program, participants will have built a functional on-premise network and a cloud-native threat intelligence application, projects they can present during job interviews or share with recruiters.
Collins Infosec emphasizes that the job market in security is currently very competitive. Although it does not promise guaranteed employment, it ensures that participants will acquire a solid foundation necessary for any security professional. They will leave with extensive practical experience and a portfolio they can show when opportunities arise.
The ethos of Project Security is based on a "do-it-yourself" approach to learning security skills, but also on a close-knit community. Unlike large training platforms and massive forums where one can feel lost, Project Security offers an environment where participants learn together, attend live meetings, and receive direct feedback on their projects. This community allows for sharing, connecting, solving problems together, and developing a real network of practitioners and home lab enthusiasts.
By becoming a "home lab builder," participants start by building their fundamental home lab in the Enterprise 101 module, free for everyone. Then, they unlock the main sections of the program, where they build an enterprise network and a web application. These sections include Networks and Attacks 101, Cloud Attacks 101, and Web and Attacks 101. Participants also benefit from advanced technical support to solve encountered problems, an exclusive role as a founding member, and access to all self-learning labs. They also receive detailed documentation with descriptions and screenshots to understand the "why" behind each step.
For those who are hesitant, Collins Infosec encourages joining the community as a free associate to see what they think. The goal is to create an inclusive community of all types of individuals interested in cybersecurity.
