Hero Bundle · Career Impact

I’m 57 years old and was laid off after eight years in management. My skills hadn’t kept up, I had no current certs, and I’d been away from SOC operations for a long time. Then I found Blue Cape Security. The more I drilled into the material, the more excited I got about work again. I landed two Cyber Threat Analyst interviews and knocked them both out of the park. I’ve just accepted a position doing what I love — proactively hunting for threats on the network.

Team Training

The course was EXACTLY what I was looking for when I began looking into IR training for the team. The approach of hands-on coaching was much more effective than lectures. The team now has an extensive toolbox for conducting investigations. I am 100% satisfied and honestly could not be happier.

Windows Forensics

I struggled in school with forensics because I found it boring and hard to follow. This course was great though. The content built on one another, instructions were clear. Overall 10/10. I only have positive things to say and will be recommending it to others.
