Cyber Defence certification programme

Become a SECO-certified Threat Analyst (S-TA)

The Cyber Defence programme was developed by a group of SOC managers and the creator of the SOC Maturity Model (SOC-CMM), which is used by cyber defence teams around the world. The curriculum is based on the requirements that the authors have set for their own teams and offers a unique combination of crucial concepts, the required mindset, collaboration skills and practical experience that you need to do your job well.

We offer the most comprehensive certification path for your career. With our learning path, you can develop from an entry-level SOC analyst to a certified Threat Analyst (S-TA).
