Course overview

Elevate your coding skills to level up as a security professional

Coding is an essential aspect of engineering including cybersecurity. However NOT everyone in cybersecurity is formally taught how to code at the level of expertise that is essential to succeed in cybersecurity. Furthermore, many security engineers are simply afraid of coding. I surveyed 300+ security professionals and got to know the common patterns in security professionals:


- They want to automate repetitive tasks

- They want to get over their fear of coding

- They want to build security tools, automation etc.


This course is designed to help you do all of the above. It is not just about learn coding but also being proficient at it. We focus on practical exercises every week where you apply your skills to develop real life example projects.


You will Make YOUR own:

Password manager

Packet filtering Firewall

Mini File System

Port Scanner


Finally, this course ends with a collaborative capstone project where you will build a tool of your choice.


Finally, some of you may wonder - do I need coding in the age of AI? The way I look at it is coding is a language and you need to learn to read and write a language. No matter how much automation AI can help with, if you don't know how to read and write code yourself, you won't be able to find mistakes that AI may make or use its output well enough.


So don't wait to grow your coding skills. Your career success is just a course away!

Karan Dwivedi

Karan Dwivedi is a recognized cybersecurity expert. Karan has led large-scale security projects at Google and Yahoo for products like Google Search, Google Assistant, Yahoo Mail, etc, to safeguard over a billion users.


Karan loves teaching, mentoring, and guiding peers to excel in their careers. He taught in the Google Cybersecurity Certificate program launched in May 2023 on Coursera, which has been taken by over 250,000 students so far.


Karan noticed a gap where security engineers and analysts did not have a good formal training in coding skills. Having cracked interviews at FAANG companies himself and having a software engineering background, he built this course to train security professionals on how to develop coding skills to succeed in their roles.
