The Last CDA Live - Sep 8 ๐Ÿ˜ณ

After 5 years and 100s of students, we're running our final traditional CDA Live cohort starting Monday, September 8th.

No further 14-week programs after this. Moving to focused 1-4 day workshops in 2026 on various content.

If you've been waiting for "the right time" - this is literally your last chance for the full experience. We are full however. ๐Ÿ˜…

If you were interested in attending in some capacity, maybe a week or two, just email us at [email protected] and weโ€™ll see what we can do.

What's Next in the Pipeline:

SOC100 Series Updates

We slowed down a bit in Summer (summer + business admin surge with final CDA). Back to regular pace now:

  • Reverse Engineering: 2-3 more sessions before we wrap up SOC100-5

  • SOC100-2: Malware analysis lab

  • SOC100-4 & 5: Certifications in final production

The Detection Bot (Osiris)

Testing passed. Challenge service hosting in progress. Nearly ready for prime time.

This thing will change how you practice detection engineering. More details when we launch it. Content available now in the course up until DE bot needed.

Alerts to Adversaries (Oct 12-18)
