In the realm of cybersecurity, knowledge is the ultimate currency. While the digital world may offer unlimited access to information, it’s critical to discern that not all information holds significant value. AWSC is a certified 6-week online cybersecurity course created for advanced professionals as well as all the geeks who are already fluent in the Windows environment (including security skills, penetration testing, etc.).
Intermediate to advanced Windows Security Professionals

Ethical Hackers (who are familiar with…)
Attendee needs to have general fluency in Windows environment (including security skills, penetration testing etc.) Active Directory related knowledge is required. Take the quiz to see where are you at.
Brave Newbies
If you are a newbie you can still apply, but the program WILL NOT cover the basics — so it might be really challenging for you to get in or to keep up with the group.
