Training Camp

Wondering how to break into cybersecurity with no experience? You’re asking the right question—and we’ve got answers based on real results, not theory. After years of training thousands of students from complete beginners to certified professionals, we’ve seen firsthand which paths actually work, which certifications open doors fastest, and what separates those who land jobs from those who stay stuck. This session shares those insights so you can build a realistic plan that gets you hired.

What You’ll Learn

This isn’t another generic “get certified and apply for jobs” session. We’re sharing what we’ve learned from watching students go from zero cybersecurity experience to landing their first security role—the patterns that work, the mistakes that waste time, and the paths that actually lead to job offers.

You’ll learn which entry-level certifications employers actually care about and which ones to skip, how to build hands-on skills when you don’t have access to enterprise environments, realistic timelines for career changers versus recent graduates, and which roles are genuinely entry-level versus those that say “entry-level” but expect three years of experience. We’ll also cover how to position IT help desk, networking, or other tech experience toward security roles—and what to do if you’re starting from scratch with no IT background at all.

Who Should Attend

This session is built for anyone serious about breaking into cybersecurity—career changers exploring security as a new direction, IT professionals looking to pivot into security roles, recent graduates trying to figure out where to start, and anyone overwhelmed by conflicting advice on certifications and career paths. Whether you’re wondering if you need a degree, debating Security+ versus other certs, or just trying to figure out if cybersecurity is right for you, this session gives you a clear-eyed view of what it actually takes.

The PMP exam is changing in July 2026—and if you’re currently studying or planning to sit for the exam, what you don’t know could cost you. PMI updates the Examination Content Outline (ECO) periodically to reflect how project management is actually practiced, and the July 2026 revision introduces meaningful shifts in domain weighting, agile emphasis, and tested competencies. This session breaks down exactly what’s changing, what it means for your prep, and how to make sure you’re studying the right material before the cutoff.

What You’ll Learn

This session is built for PMP candidates who want a clear-eyed breakdown of the July 2026 changes—not speculation, but a practical look at what PMI is shifting and what it means for your study plan. Whether you’re deep into prep or just getting started, you’ll leave with a concrete understanding of what to prioritize and what to adjust.

We’ll cover which ECO domains are gaining weight and which are shrinking, how the expanded agile and hybrid emphasis changes the question types you’ll face, and what the updated task list means in practical terms for how you study. We’ll also walk through how to tell if your current study materials are aligned to the new exam or built for the old one—and what to do if they’re not. Finally, we’ll address the key strategic question: is it better to test before July or after?

Who Should Attend

This session is essential for anyone currently pursuing the PMP certification—whether you’re actively studying, recently enrolled in a boot camp, or just beginning to plan your exam timeline. It’s also valuable for project managers who attempted the PMP previously and are considering a second attempt, as well as training coordinators and managers responsible for getting teams certified before organizational deadlines. If the July 2026 changes affect your certification timeline in any way, this session will help you make a smarter decision about how to proceed.

ITIL Version 5 launched in February 2026, and if you hold an ITIL 4 certification, you’re probably wondering what it means for you. The short answer is: your certification is still valid, and there’s no immediate pressure to do anything. But the longer answer is more nuanced—and worth understanding before you plan your next move. This session cuts through the noise and gives you a clear, practical breakdown of what actually changed, what carries over from ITIL 4, and how to decide whether and when to pursue the new Version 5 pathway.

What You’ll Learn

ITIL 5 is not a replacement for ITIL 4—it’s an evolution. The core principles, the Service Value System, the four dimensions, and the seven guiding principles all carry over. What Version 5 adds is a broader scope that now encompasses digital product management alongside traditional IT services, a genuinely AI-native approach to service management, and a restructured certification pathway that’s more role-aligned than what ITIL 4 offered. This session walks through all of it clearly and without the marketing language.

You’ll learn exactly what ITIL 5 added, changed, and preserved from ITIL 4, how the new certification structure works—Foundation, Practice Manager, Managing Professional, and Strategic Leader—and how it maps to the ITIL 4 paths you may already be on. We’ll cover the ITIL 4-to-5 transition options including the Foundation Bridge exam, what the new AI Governance extension module covers and who it’s for, and how the 12-month parallel coexistence period affects your decisions right now. You’ll leave with a clear picture of whether to stay on ITIL 4, transition now, or wait.

Who Should Attend

This session is built for anyone with an existing ITIL 4 certification trying to understand what the Version 5 launch means for their credentials and career path. It’s also valuable for IT service management professionals who are new to ITIL and trying to decide which version to pursue, as well as IT managers, service desk leads, and operations professionals considering ITIL training for their teams. If you’re responsible for organizational ITIL adoption or workforce development planning, this session will help you make informed decisions about your roadmap before committing to a direction.

Exclusive Benefits for Attendees

• Full recording of the session for future reference
• ITIL 4 vs. ITIL 5 side-by-side comparison guide
• ITIL Version 5 certification pathway map

DNS is the phone book of the internet—and one of the most abused protocols in cybersecurity. Every time you type a URL, DNS is doing invisible work behind the scenes. And every time an attacker wants to exfiltrate data, establish command-and-control, or redirect traffic without triggering alarms, DNS is often the tool they reach for first. This session breaks down exactly how DNS works at the packet level and then flips the lens to show why it’s become one of hackers’ most reliable attack vectors—and what defenders can do about it.

What You’ll Learn

DNS seems simple on the surface—your computer asks for an IP address and gets one back. But the full resolution process involves recursive resolvers, authoritative name servers, caching, TTLs, and a chain of trust that attackers know how to abuse at every link. This session walks through the entire DNS resolution process step by step, then uses that foundation to explain exactly how DNS-based attacks work and why they’re so hard to detect.

You’ll learn how recursive and iterative DNS queries work and where the difference matters, what DNS tunneling is and how attackers use it to smuggle data past firewalls, how DNS cache poisoning and spoofing attacks are executed, and how DNSSEC works and why it’s still not universally adopted. We’ll also cover what defenders should be monitoring in DNS logs and which tools and techniques analysts use to catch DNS-based threats in the wild.

Who Should Attend

This session is designed for IT professionals and security practitioners who want to move beyond surface-level knowledge of DNS and understand it well enough to both explain and defend against DNS-based attacks. It’s particularly valuable for Network+ and CCNA candidates who encounter DNS on their exams but want to see how it plays out in real security contexts, as well as SOC analysts, network administrators, and anyone studying for Security+, CySA+, or CEH who wants to see protocol fundamentals applied to real-world attack scenarios.
