Role-specific roadmaps for SOC Analyst, Pentester, GRC, Cloud Security, and more — with curated resources from TryHackMe, LetsDefend, BTLO, DetectionStream, Level Effect, Scrimba, TCM Security Academy, Simply Cyber Academy, Pluralsight, and beyond.
Five differentiators that no static flowchart or generic YouTube playlist gives you.
Not one generic map — distinct interactive roadmaps for SOC Analyst, Penetration Tester, GRC, Cloud Security, Incident Responder, and Detection Engineer.
Exact TryHackMe rooms, LetsDefend labs, BTLO challenges, DetectionStream rules, Level Effect quests, Scrimba courses, and YouTube tutorials — not generic descriptions.
Filter the entire roadmap by target certification — Security+, CySA+, OSCP, BTL1, AWS Security Specialty — and see only what's relevant to your goal.
Mark nodes as Learning, Done, or Skipped. Dashboard shows completion %, current focus node, streak, and estimated time remaining on your path.
Input your background, available hours, target role, and timeline. Get a filtered, ordered path built specifically for you — not a beginner template.
Browse resources by platform — switch between TryHackMe, LetsDefend, HackTheBox, DetectionStream, Level Effect, Scrimba, and more inside every roadmap node.
Every roadmap node links directly to curated content from these providers — filtered and organized so you never have to search.
The most realistic SOC analyst training platform. Work inside a simulated Security Operations Center with a live alert queue, phishing investigations, SIEM analysis, and real escalation workflows — exactly like day-one SOC work.
Downloadable investigation labs: memory dumps, packet captures, phishing emails, log files. BTLO builds methodical defensive investigation skills. 257 unique labs across forensics, threat hunting, SIEM, and IR.
Unify detection engineering across Sigma, YARA, Suricata, and Nova. Search 3,100+ curated rules with MITRE ATT&CK context, convert Sigma across Splunk/Elastic/Sentinel/QRadar, and build new detections with AI assistance.
Gamified quests with XP, streaks, and AI-graded challenges mapped to the NICE framework. Completed skills build a Skill Sheet verified portfolio — shareable proof of real capability for employers.
Interactive coding screencasts — pause and edit the instructor's code directly in the browser. The coding foundation for Security Engineers and Detection Engineers: Python automation, JavaScript, and scripting courses with real projects.
Guided, browser-based hacking rooms. The best starting point for absolute beginners. Pre-configured labs for SOC, pentesting, forensics, and more — no setup required.
Practitioner-built offensive security courses by Heath Adams (The Cyber Mentor). The most affordable path from zero to PNPT or OSCP — Practical Ethical Hacking, Active Directory Attacks, Web Hacking, and PrivEsc courses all under $60.
Gerald Auger's structured GRC curriculum — turning his YouTube content into job-focused paid courses. The GRC Analyst Professional course maps to real hiring criteria: NIST, risk management, audit, policy, and compliance in real business contexts.
Enterprise-trusted security training with Skill IQ assessments. GRC and compliance library covers NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS — with before/after skill benchmarks you can share with employers as proof of competency.
Real machine hacking and structured academy modules. Best for intermediate-to-advanced offensive security learners. HTB Academy covers web attacks, AD, and more with structured courses.
The closest thing to a real SOC job before you have the job.
Download real artifacts. Investigate like a pro.
Search, convert, and create detections across every major SIEM.
Find your career path. Build a Skill Sheet employers can verify.
Pause. Edit the code. Build the skill. No passive video watching.
Affordable, practitioner-built offensive security. No fluff, no filler.
