Who this program is for

The project-based training that closes the gap between course and hire.

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.

01

Aspiring security engineers

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.

02

IT/sysadmins moving into security

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.

03

BTech / BCA / MCA looking for security exposure

You want a structured cybersecurity project-based training program that goes beyond classroom theory and into the daily work of a defender.

What you'll work on

Four months. Four sessions.

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.

Month 01

Linux & Cybersecurity Foundations

Linux basics, networking fundamentals, Kali Linux setup, core cybersecurity concepts, OverTheWire Bandit, TryHackMe labs, and beginner security workflows.

Month 02

Web & API Penetration Testing

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.

Month 03

Wireless, Hardware & Recon

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.

Month 04

Real-Time Projects & Security Reporting

Practical security assessments, vulnerability validation, reporting workflows, documentation, automation scripting using Python & Bash, and real-world testing exposure.

Why this is different

Most internships are shadow work. This one isn't.

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.

01

Real defensive work, not certificate prep

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.

02

On-site, mentor-led

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.

03

Structured deliverables & reviews

Each month has clear deliverables (lab write-ups, pentest reports, recon notes, automation scripts) and structured review cadences.

04

A training completion certificate from a named partner

On successful completion you receive an industry training completion certificate, signed off by the mentor team, documenting the work you actually delivered.

What happens after

The training doesn't end at 'thanks for coming.'

Trainees who complete the program go through Techcake's career pipeline, designed to convert the work you did into the offer you want.

01

Portfolio & resume rebuild

A security-aware resume rewrite, your work framed in the language of SOC and AppSec hiring, not generic IT.

02

Mock interviews on security topics

Recorded mocks on defensive security fundamentals, your project deliverables, and the kinds of scenario questions that come up in SOC interviews.

03

Alumni network access

Lifetime access to the Techcake alumni Slack and WhatsApp, for security-job referrals, technical questions, and a working network in your field.

Frequently asked

Questions before you apply.

The most common questions about this program, answered honestly.

Is this an internship?
Honestly, no. This is a project-based training program, not an internship. There's no employment relationship and no employer of record. What this program does build is the same skills and portfolio a real cybersecurity internship would build: four months of structured, mentor-reviewed cybersecurity practice, pentesting, app and API security, wireless and hardware demos, recon, and reporting. It prepares you for SOC / cybersecurity internship and junior-analyst roles afterwards.
Do I need security experience to apply?
Not formal security experience, but you should have a working understanding of Linux, networking, and basic computing fundamentals. If you're starting from absolute zero on IT, take a Linux course first and then apply.
Will I work on offensive security / hacking?
Yes. The program covers offensive security hands-on, web and API pentesting, wireless attacks, hardware demos (HID, Digispark, OTA), and recon, alongside foundations and reporting.
Will I get certifications?
No, this program does not coordinate or cover external certification exams (Security+, CEH, etc.). What you get is the practical skill set and portfolio that those certifications gesture at, students often pursue certifications independently afterwards.
Is there a job guarantee?
No. We provide structured career support: portfolio review, resume rebuild, mock interviews, and direct referrals into the security partner network. The final hiring decision is always the employer's.
Is it on-site only?
Yes, four months on the Kannur campus. The mentor feedback loop in security work requires proximity.
