Security architecture and enterprise defence design, advanced offensive operations and adversary simulation, exploit development and reverse engineering, advanced malware analysis and threat intelligence, advanced cloud and infrastructure security, AI security and adversarial ML, governance risk and compliance, and a capstone full security program.

Requirements

  • Completion of the Intermediate level, or hands on experience running authorised assessments, SIEM detections, and incident response
  • Comfort with scripting, networking, and enterprise security concepts
  • A computer capable of running Kali Linux and advanced lab environments

About this course

This is the final stage of the Ucanly Cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking track, where security professionals become security architects. Built for practitioners with hands on experience running authorised assessments, SIEM detections, and incident response, this program goes deep into defence in depth and Zero Trust architecture, red team operations and adversary simulation with Active Directory attack path mapping using BloodHound, and exploit development and reverse engineering with Ghidra. You will build advanced threat intelligence skills including YARA and Sigma rule writing, architect secure cloud environments on AWS and Azure, and move into AI security: prompt injection and LLM exploitation, adversarial machine learning, securing agentic AI systems, and AI red teaming. You will also cover governance, risk, compliance frameworks like ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and crisis leadership. All practical work is performed exclusively inside isolated, authorised Ucanly lab environments. You will graduate having led a full scope authorised adversary simulation and defensive uplift program, delivered as a security architecture blueprint, a detection suite, a purple team report, and a board level executive briefing.
