Cybersecurity Training
Through Homelabs
Build real-world homelabs, master the basics, and create a security portfolio along the way.

Cybersecurity Education & Training Through Homelabs.
Cybersecurity education can be expensive, fragmented, and often lacks a clear path to kickstart your security career path. ProjectSecurity is built to support your career journey across three pillars, with homelabs at the heart of everything we do.
- Pillar #1: Get a Practical Start in Cybersecurity
- Pillar #2: We Work With Real-World Tools & Technologies
- Pillar #3: Build a Cybersecurity Portfolio
Instead of abstract theory, we replicate enterprise or business networks, systems, and security setups to mirror actual IT environments starting day one.
Open-source and community edition tools allow you to work with the same technologies professionals use daily. We use the same tools actual environments would.
By doing on-premise and cloud-hosted homelabs, you build a portfolio, something to showcase and use to bridge your experience gap.


The ProjectSecurity Portfolio Suite
We build real-world homelabs, while learning how to deploy and configure, launch attacks, and bolster defenses. We do this by building an entirely simulated corporate and production network based on four core sections or areas in security.
- Enterprise 101 (E101)
- Cloud & Attacks 101 (CA101)
Focuses on the foundations of building an enterprise environment. We call this simulated environment ProjectX.
Builds off the basics, extends corporate network, adds network monitoring, prevention, and defense.
Build and deploy a production network in preparation of building an application.
Build a web application to service our fake customers.
We deploy, attack, and defend on each of these.
👉 Right now E101 and NA101 are available. CA101 and WA101 are being actively developed.



Build a Cybersecurity Portfolio
A cybersecurity portfolio is a curated showcase of projects, skills, and hands-on experience, highlighting your technical abilities, problem-solving, and security expertise. We think through homelabs, you are doing all of this in one. Here's what a portfolio does in security.
- Showcases Your Skills
- Demonstrates Initiative
- Improves Job Prospects
A portfolio demonstrates your hands-on ability, not just theoretical knowledge. It's evidence for what you have done.
Valued candidates accomplish and go beyond coursework and certifications. A portfolio is a reflection of self-motivation and a proactive approach to learning and skill-building.
A tangible portfolio to showcase to recruiters, interviewers, and colleagues.
