Four monthly sessions of mentor-reviewed pentesting, web and API security, wireless and hardware demos, recon, and reporting, on Techcake premises. The portfolio that gets a cybersecurity internship or junior-security-engineer role within reach.
Project-led, mentor-reviewed
Working practitioners
On Techcake premises, Kannur
Not a beginner program
This is not a training program. It is a structured 4-month project-based training phase for candidates who already have the fundamentals and need the missing piece, real, mentored production exposure that an employer recognises on a resume.
You want to break into security as a career (SOC, GRC, application security, cloud security) and need a structured program with real work to point to.
You're already in IT support, networking, or sysadmin and want to specialise into security. You have the systems foundation; you need the security depth.
You want a structured cybersecurity project-based training program that goes beyond classroom theory and into the daily work of a defender.
Each month is a structured session with hands-on labs, mentor reviews, and a deliverable. The four sessions stack, foundations first, then application security, then offensive ops and recon, then real-time projects with reporting.
Linux basics, networking fundamentals, Kali Linux setup, core cybersecurity concepts, OverTheWire Bandit, TryHackMe labs, and beginner security workflows.
Hands-on testing of web apps and REST APIs: authentication flaws, IDOR, SQL injection, XSS, file upload vulnerabilities, Burp Suite workflows, JWT weaknesses, rate limiting, endpoint discovery, and data exposure.
Wi-Fi security testing, OTA attack demonstrations, HID attack demos, Digispark workflows, and security-hardware exposure. Reconnaissance, subdomain enumeration, OSINT, attack surface mapping, and bug bounty methodologies.
Practical security assessments, vulnerability validation, reporting workflows, documentation, automation scripting using Python & Bash, and real-world testing exposure.
The difference between an internship that lands you a job and an internship that doesn't is whether the work was real and whether the people reviewing it were practitioners. Here's how we structure both.
This isn't a CEH / Security+ exam-prep mill. It's a four-month structured program working through real defensive and offensive security tasks, mentored by practitioners.
You're on Techcake premises in Kannur, alongside the mentor team. Security depends on detail; sitting next to a senior practitioner is how that detail gets transferred.
Each month has clear deliverables (lab write-ups, pentest reports, recon notes, automation scripts) and structured review cadences.
On successful completion you receive an industry training completion certificate, signed off by the mentor team, documenting the work you actually delivered.
Trainees who complete the program go through Techcake's career pipeline, designed to convert the work you did into the offer you want.
A security-aware resume rewrite, your work framed in the language of SOC and AppSec hiring, not generic IT.
Recorded mocks on defensive security fundamentals, your project deliverables, and the kinds of scenario questions that come up in SOC interviews.
Lifetime access to the Techcake alumni Slack and WhatsApp, for security-job referrals, technical questions, and a working network in your field.
