Course Overview
OffSec set the industry standard with Penetration Testing with Kali Linux (PWK) teaching students how to perform practical attacks against networks and systems. Now with SOC-200 we reveal the consequences of common attacks from a defensive perspective.
Students who complete the course and pass the associated exam earn the Offensive Security Defense Analyst (OSDA) certification, demonstrating their ability to detect and assess security incidents.
