Cybersecurity training & skill development in one platform

OffSec is the only platform that delivers training AND hands-on skill development for cybersecurity professionals. From courses, certifications, learning paths, and assessments learners develop a mindset that is grounded in critical thinking, and a willingness to test and learn in our labs and cyber range.

The OffSec mindset

Courses and learning paths help students develop the right mindset for any role in cybersecurity. Each learning module reinforces the OffSec Mindset:

Start with a deep understanding of the attackers' goals and learn to be persistent.
Be ready for failure, it’s part of the process and it is what teaches you to act like an attacker.
Get creative, and apply an understanding of information security concepts to consider (and test!) a wide variety of ideas.
Efficiency can make the difference between a small attack and having to report an attack in SEC filings.
Level-headed responses communicate the impact, outline the response plan and reassure the organization of it’s security.

Hands-on training

Labs, and the OffSec Cyber Ranges help students put their theoretical learnings into practice further protecting organizations in the real world.

Learning paths and courses all include labs that reinforce training by testing students as they learn.
OffSec rewards are only attained after hands-on success is proven. Because multiple choice isn’t the way the real-world works.
Simulate custom environments with custom tools and train teams in the tools that mimic the real-world.
Set up tournaments to test offensive and defensive skills across cyber teams.
Assess team members and highlight additional training opportunities.

More than multiple-choice

Cybersecurity in the real world isn’t a game of multiple choice and we don’t ask multiple-choice questions in our assessments or exams. The folks that pass OffSec assessments and exams have proven their skills by understanding the theories presented and then proving their skills in labs or our simulated cyber range.

Training & Learning Paths aligned to industry standard frameworks

Learning Paths are available based on the NIST and MITRE frameworks to understand, assess, prioritize, and communicate cybersecurity training.

Trusted by thousands

OffSec training is leveraged by recruiting managers as a hiring requirement because the certifications and assessments attained by OffSec students represent more than just theoretical knowledge, but hands-on experience.

What our customers say

Recommend to any full-stack developer

I am happy to announce that I passed OffSec's (in)famous 48-hour-long exam and obtained the Offensive Security Web Expert (OSWE) certification.

It is an excellent course. I'd recommend this to any full-stack developer who wants to get better at what they do.

Thanks for a great course.

Self-initiated research and new peripheral journeys

Despite the large variances in extra miles, I recommend doing them. Some extra miles encourage the student to perform self-initiated research, often leading into new peripheral learning journeys.

Top-notch Active Directory and evasion content

My favorite Offensive Security course, applicable to current environments, and this time going beyond the execution of existing tools to actually developing them! Besides the well-explained topics and top notch Active Directory and evasion content, this course is a treasure trove for offensive C# development and getting started with Win32 APIs.
