Cybersecurity

Enter one of the fastest-growing tech careers — from zero.

Cybersecurity is among the highest-demand, highest-salary fields in global tech, and Jordan's digital economy needs qualified practitioners urgently. This entry-level program introduces the field properly: concepts, threats, protection tools, and practical exercises — giving graduates a credible foundation to pursue certifications (CompTIA Security+, CEH) and junior roles in IT security.

Sessions alternate between short concept blocks and guided lab exercises: trainees run Wireshark captures on sample traffic, map attack scenarios using a threat-modelling worksheet, and work through a simulated phishing response drill. By the final week each participant has documented their own mini-security assessment of a practice environment — the kind of artefact they can walk into a junior interview and discuss concretely.

A typical week runs for three hours: the first hour covers one concept — password policy, network scanning, or social-engineering tactics — and the remaining two hours are hands-on lab time working through a structured exercise tied to that concept. The program is a practical foundation for those who intend to pursue recognised certifications such as CompTIA Security+ afterward, and for those entering the job market directly, the lab portfolio and assessment document give them something concrete to discuss in a technical screening.

What you will learn

  • Core cybersecurity concepts: CIA triad, attack surfaces, and threat categories
  • Account and identity protection: strong authentication, password managers, and phishing awareness
  • Understanding digital threats: malware types, social engineering, and network attacks
  • Hands-on tools: Wireshark basics, network scanning fundamentals, and vulnerability concepts
  • Secure system configuration: OS hardening basics and safe browsing practices
  • Career pathways in cybersecurity: certifications, job roles, and how to self-study after the program
  • Analyse real network packet captures to identify suspicious traffic patterns using Wireshark
  • Draft a basic incident-response checklist for a small organisation or home network

What you walk away with

Graduates gain a verified foundational knowledge of cybersecurity, a clear certification roadmap, and the practical skills to apply for junior IT security roles or continue toward professional credentials. Graduates also leave with a documented lab portfolio that demonstrates hands-on practice to prospective employers and certification programmes.
