Hello! 👋 

Hope you all had a good week last week. Lots of action happening behind the scenes here including getting flagged for malware we hosted on AWS. 😅 

Let’s jump into it!

1. Brand

CDA = 59 Credits for a Bachelor’s, on sale for $399

Yes, just wanted to highlight this for those interested in getting credits. CDA can be transferred as 59 credits to a degree at Purdue Global. It will never be this low on price again after this sale. Check out the degree page below: 👇

Here’s the credit mapping table to review what we cover and what would remain:

Course Bundles!

The learning platform just got an upgrade allowing us to create packaged bundles of courses making it easier and more automated, as well as including the SOC100 discounts right away to a CDA purchase. We’ll have these go live next week and a few additional discounts on the big bundle purchases and another surprise.

This is also going to help us make the course combo or tiered program format much easier to manage along with automating it all. 🔥

2. Content

CDCP - AWS Malware Flagged

We are going to have to bump up the CDCP release for Dec 3rd! We ran into a bit of a snag this past week where AWS flagged us for malware and broke a bunch of our content.

In having to fix this and also Thanksgiving shortening next week - we will release this Dec 3rd.

Apologies! 🙏

Bonus Reverse Shell & Keylog Analysis Stream

Next Saturday we’re having an additional stream added to the SOC100 course by Instructor Doug Kaluhiokalani! Going to be accessible for newcomers yet some good takeaways for the intermediate crowd. Nov 23 stream on Twitch!

SOC100-1 Class 10 and 11

Class 10 and 11 of SOC100 are up now on YouTube covering a whole ton of content finally jumping into Wireshark for protocol and packet analysis! Let those packets come to life.
