Actionable skills, built on knowledge

OffSec combines theory and hands-on training to develop practical expertise for real-world challenges

While SANS delivers technical depth, excelling in cybersecurity requires more than isolated training. Professionals must develop operational skills and practical problem-solving abilities that extend beyond the classroom.

OffSec prepares learners for these challenges through a blend of hands-on experience and essential theory. With access to the OffSec Learning Library, Proving Grounds, and Cyber Ranges, learners can continuously refine their skills in dynamic environments, ensuring they are ready for real-world incidents from day one.

What cybersecurity professionals are saying

CTO, Pulsar Security

I feel like every person's first experience in cybersecurity should be OffSec. Before you go out to figure out how to create a zero-day and you get confused, if you start with OffSec, that won't happen due to how methodologically all the training is put together.
