According to intelligence firm Risk Based Security<\/a>, data breaches in 2020 led to the exposure of 36 billion records, and that\u2019s for the first semester alone. Indeed, cyberspace has seen an alarming rise in cybercrimes, most of which resulted in one goal: to expose, steal, and sell personal and private information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iconic pop artist Andry Warhol once said, \u201cIn the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.\u201d As we move forward in the digital age, some would say that the artist\u2019s prediction has come true. However, with the steady rise of cybercrimes, others believe the inverse: in the digital age, everyone will only remain anonymous for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hacking the Cyber Security Skills Gap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The persistent problem of cyber insecurity has propelled the demand for competent cyber security experts to even greater heights. Despite such hunger, the industry is facing a severe talent shortage. \u201cAn estimated 3.5 million cybersecurity jobs will be available but unfilled by 2021,\u201d the New York Times reported<\/a>. So, why the skills gap?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are numerous reasons behind the talent crunch, but one sticks out. That is, security firms tend to cast a narrow hiring net such that candidates with traditional credentials get more visibility. The problem is that conventional cyber security education needs to catch up in relevance and rigor. As a result, while students may hold degrees, some don\u2019t have the skills to thrive in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students need constant and active hands-on training rather than standardized lectures and exams to truly learn cyber security. In the words of former US Air Force Intelligence analyst Greg Ake, \u201cThey need realistic job-ready and hands-on experience.\u201d A veteran in the US intelligence community, Greg is no stranger to the needs of the cyber security industry. So in 2017, he partnered with fellow veteran Robert Noeth to found Level Effect<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level Effect: What Can It Offer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Level Effect started as a software company and the breeding ground for Recon\u2122, the first-ever network-aware endpoint detection and response technology to integrate endpoint forensics with network traffic visibility. Security firm Huntress later acquired<\/a> the technology to expand its cyber security capacities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having proved their ability to develop relevant cyber security tools, Greg and Robert focused on developing competitive cyber security talent. \u201cThere\u2019s a high demand for cyber talent, and by training as many as we can\u2014from a macroeconomic scale\u2014we wanted to create a leveling effect on that demand,\u201d said Greg.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July 2020, Level Effect launched its first Cyber Defense Analyst (CDA) Bootcamp Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Curriculum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In as short as 13 weeks, Level Effect promises to transform non-initiated students into fully operational cyber defense analysts. The immersive program demands at least 20 hours of hard study per week, including the two-hour live online classes held every night from Monday to Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the surface, the program resembles the numerous cyber security programs already in existence. On closer inspection, however, it boasts training of a higher caliber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level Effect\u2019s first note of distinction lies in its curriculum. The CDA curriculum covers the core concepts of cyber security, including networking, computer forensics, and threat hunting. This entails over 100 hours of live online instruction and a steady stream of challenging lab exercises that force students to see things from the eyes of a cyber security analyst. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe introduce the students to a fictitious company,\u201d said Greg. \u201cThe narrative is that the company works for the US government and is being attacked by foreign nations who have an interest in the data that it has.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, throughout the course, we\u2019re training students to conduct investigations and solve problems while under that narrative of working for a company in a real business environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In keeping with its promise of producing job-ready analysts, Level Effect\u2019s CDA program focuses on the Windows network and domain. This starkly contrasts most cyber security programs that train students solely in Linux and hacking techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur students do malware reverse engineering, malware analysis, and Windows system forensics. We also have a module on adversary tactics where they are compromising Windows machines, attacking the domain controller, and stealing credentials,\u201d said Greg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe ensure our students can configure, harden, defend, and analyze Windows networks because that is what the job is about in the workplace. Nearly every bootcamp uses Kali Linux because it\u2019s \u2018sexy,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cThe fact of the matter is that most security professionals, especially defensive analysts, typically don\u2019t use Linux in their daily roles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe use the architecture that they will actually have to work with.\u201d Put simply, the experience that Level Effect students get is not just hands-on; it\u2019s realistic too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Instructors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To drive this realistic experience, Level Effect leverages best practices from military-style training and scenarios to augment the learning experience. There are two points worth mentioning when talking about Level Effect\u2019s teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, four instructors run the Level Effect classroom, unlike the traditional classroom and most coding bootcamps. \u201cWe ensure a high instructor-to-student ratio by doubling down on the number of instructors in each class,\u201d said Greg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis allows one instructor to teach the scheduled topic while the others assist students, ask questions, and add to the discussion or lab content in class. We always provide multiple perspectives to the same problem, so students better grasp how it works in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, students receive training from Level Effect founders Greg and Robert themselves. They are also joined by Level Effect COO Anthony Bendas, who likewise created the curriculum, and one other instructor who graduated from the program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put another way, all of Level Effect\u2019s instructors carry significant experiences in real-world offensive and defensive cyber security that you just don\u2019t get in other places. And this is why the school has a reputation for providing militaristic training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have proven experience and the skills to build tools that the industry sees as relevant. So when we teach you, we don\u2019t just teach you how to use cyber security tools for the sake of knowing how to use them,\u201d said Greg. \u201cInstead, we teach you how to use such tools to solve problems with them. We focus on building analytical tradecraft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo if we see a student doing well, we reach out to them and say, \u2018hey, we have an extra challenge just for you.\u2019 We don\u2019t just let them get by. If they have potential, we will push that,\u201d Greg said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same practice holds for those who struggle. Because of the level of attention that the instructors impart, no Level Effect student gets left behind. \u201cWe make a lot of effort to meet people where they\u2019re at and maximize their potential while they\u2019re with us.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this, Greg added: \u201cThe perception of a program\u2019s difficulty shouldn\u2019t be based on a student\u2019s lack of initial understanding. Instead, the program should be hard because it is demanding, and that\u2019s what we do. We demand the best from them and push them to meet the challenges thrown at them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Assessment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To test their mastery, students complete a capstone project encompassing the core skills taught throughout the program. The capstone involves six real-world security operations scenarios commonly encountered in business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe project lasts one week, and they\u2019ll need to commit 30 to 40 hours to complete it. It requires real tradecraft, real analysis, and real reporting,\u201d said Greg. The contextual reports must be comprehensive and cover the students\u2019 findings, evidence, and recommendations to remediate the identified threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, you cannot earn Level Effect\u2019s Cyber Defense Certified Professional Certification<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by being a bookworm. And therein lies the real career differentiator. At Level Effect, you\u2019ll have to do the job to pass the course. Once you pass, then you can do the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Career Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To land that job, Level Effect pairs its technical training program with job placement assistance.\u00a0 Students learn how to write resumes, build social media profiles, and expand their networks. The instructors hold live online classes where they conduct mock technical interviews and resume reviews with the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So if we add up all these elements, how much of an investment would students need to make? Level Effect arguably offers one of the most affordable tuition costs among today\u2019s cyber bootcamps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At $9,500, students gain access to a cutthroat and highly competitive program under the supervision of industry veterans. Level Effect offers ample financial assistance for students who can\u2019t pay out of pocket via its partnership with student loan provider Climb Credit, tuition discounts for military veterans, and up-and-coming scholarship programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level Effect: Is It Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To answer this question, we thought it better to defer to Level Effect\u2019s former and current students themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLevel Effect\u2019s Cyber Defense Analyst Bootcamp Program is an incredible course with the most relevant real-world materials I have seen,\u201d said Greg M., a Level Effect graduate. \u201cHaving the creators as the teachers provided an amazing layer of depth and nuanced familiarity that is hard to come by in certification programs and formal education.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe virtual ecosystem they have created, combined with the depth of content and style of delivery, makes this the best course I have taken\u2026[These] will put the student at a distinct advantage in technical interviews and substantially lower the barrier to entry across the cyber realm,\u201d he concluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A current student, Bobby Polo, praised the bootcamp\u2019s instructors. \u201cLevel Effect instructors literally go above and beyond to teach you the information like a teacher should. You could ask the dumbest question, and they will go into the most in-depth explanation to ensure you understand it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The degree of attention that Level Effect places on its curriculum and instruction is partly rooted in Greg\u2019s fear of the bootcamp\u2019s being labeled \u201cas another certificate mill.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want the students to have a false sense of security in their knowledge,\u201d said Greg. \u201cIf anything, I want them to leave the course thinking, \u2018I have so much to learn.\u2019 For me, that means that I\u2019ve done my job because I\u2019ve equipped them to understand this field and the depth of it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA cyber security career is a career of continued learning. Cyber is not a battle against malware but against the human ingenuity that created the malware. Adversaries will continue to push boundaries and devise new techniques to evade detection,\u201d said Greg. \u201cIt\u2019s our job to continually adapt, learn, and proactively hunt down these threats that seek to undermine security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere might be easier ways to earn six figures, but none as rewarding as this,\u201d he concluded. Level Effect equips you with a genuine and in-depth understanding of the cyber security landscape, from the skills you\u2019ll need to break into the industry to the mindset you\u2019ll need to thrive. So if that\u2019s the kind of training you\u2019re looking for, visit the Level Effect website, and hack your way to a cyber security career<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to intelligence firm Risk Based Security, data breaches in 2020 led to the exposure of 36 billion records, and that\u2019s for the first semester alone.
