Cloud and Cybersecurity

Important Announcement!

On August 14th, 2026 the price increases from $15 to $50 a month.

That is two weeks away. Anyone enrolled before that date locks in $15 a month forever, no matter how high the price goes after that.

Here is what you are getting right now while the course is actively being built.

While you are learning, you have something most paid courses never offer. One hour of live access to me every Saturday. I am a CISSP, CCSP, and a Senior Cloud Security Architect working in the field with first hands experience of what to expect on the job.

Every Saturday, I show up personally to answer your specific career and technical questions in real time. Got stuck on a concept? Bring it on Saturday. Preparing for an interview? Bring it on Saturday. Not sure what to study next? Bring it on Saturday.

That alone is worth more than most completed courses you will find online.

For $15 a month you get all of that, the growing course library, the live weekly office hours, a resume template to make you stand out, and a private student community.

All taught and led by someone who has actually done this work at the highest level.

No bootcamp, No $10-15k price tag.

Just real, hands-on skills and direct access to someone in the field that can can help provide the right mentorship you need to succeed.

Price increases on August 14th, 2026 from $15 per month to $50 per month.

New video just dropped in the Cybersecurity course on Skool.

This video was recorded in July 2026 (to be precise, today). Everything you see is current, the interface, the steps, the configuration. No outdated screenshots, no "this might look slightly different on your version." Just a clean, up to date walkthrough that actually works.

This covers how to set up Nessus, one of the most widely used vulnerability scanners in the industry. If you are applying for cybersecurity roles and you have never touched Nessus, this is a gap you want to close before your next interview.

Hiring managers expect you to know this tool, and more importantly, hands-on experience with it is something you can legitimately put on your resume. This is exactly the kind of practical, job-ready skill that separates candidates who get callbacks from candidates who do not.

Watch it now inside the Cybersecurity course at www.yescertified.com

Not enrolled yet? Here is why now is the right time.

I am still actively recording and uploading the Cybersecurity course. Once I finish, I move straight into the Cloud Security and AI Security courses. When the full bundle is complete, the price goes up. Students who enroll today at $15 a month lock that rate in permanently, no matter how high the price goes later.

Linux. AWS. Cybersecurity. Cloud Security. AI Security. One hour of live Saturday office hours with me every week. Resume template. Private student community.

All of that for $15 a month, but only at this price while I am still building it out.

Yescertified.com Newsletter - Cloud Security Architecture Decisions You Must Avoid (No. 1)

This one is the start of a new series I am calling "Cloud Security Architecture Decisions You Must Avoid," and I am kicking it off with one of the most common mistakes I see in real AWS environments.

Most teams assume that putting workloads in separate VPCs inside the same AWS account is enough isolation. It is not, and I have seen this assumption create security gaps in production environments that passed design reviews without anyone catching it.

In this issue, I break down exactly why the AWS account is the real isolation boundary, not the VPC, and what a proper multi-account architecture actually looks like on the job.

New video just dropped in the Cybersecurity course on Skool.

This one covers SSH and iptables, specifically how to configure firewall rules to control SSH access. If you have ever wondered how traffic is actually allowed or blocked on a Linux system before it even reaches the application, this is the video that makes it click.

26 minutes of hands-on, practical content. No fluff.

I am currently recording and uploading the Cybersecurity course videos as I finish them. Once that is complete, it's straight into the Cloud Security and AI Security courses. By the time all three are fully loaded, the price goes up.

Students who enroll today at $15 a month lock that price in permanently. You will never pay more than what you sign up for today, regardless of where the price goes when the full bundle is complete.

Two new videos uploaded to the Cybersecurity course:

- Resolve OpenVAS Findings
- Authenticated scan with OpenVAS

New video just dropped in the Cybersecurity course.

I built a custom OpenVAS analyzer tool that transforms raw vulnerability scan output into a clean, prioritized findings dashboard, and this video walks through exactly how it works.

I also made a public version you can share with anyone interested in getting into cybersecurity. It gives a real look at the kind of hands-on work we do inside the course. Watch it here https://youtu.be/RRLYpzffNg0

In the upcoming video, I'll show you how I used a custom tool I built to make it easy to analyze the results of the vulnerability scans

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted you know that in the Cybersecurity course, I added a few more videos to the vulnerability management section after the migration to the Skool platform. These new videos are not available on Teachable as all new videos will now be uploaded to the new Skool platform.

For those that received the access to Skool, I need a few volunteers to please message on LinkedIn and let me know if you also got access to all my courses including the Cybersecurity course. You should have access to a total of 5 courses, but for some reason, you may have gotten 4. Please message me on LinkedIn to let me know if the Cybersecurity course is missing

Very Important Announcement!!!

Due to Teachable's price increases and removal of several features, I've decided to migrate to Skool. I'll be sending an email to anyone who is currently a student on Teachable either enrolled or not enrolled in my courses, with information on getting FREE lifetime access to all my courses on Skool. You'll never have to pay a monthly fee. I already have your enrollment email from Teachable, so no action is needed on your end for this part, just wait for the email with information on how to access all my courses on the Skool platform. This is a token of appreciation for being an early supporter and for your patience with the pace of my video uploads.

For others interested in signing up for my courses, please use the link below to become a member for just $15 per month and gain access to my courses. My courses include hands-on intensive Linux, AWS, Cybersecurity, Cloud Security & AI Security courses. Please note that only the Linux and AWS parts of the courses are complete. A few videos have now been uploaded to the Cybersecurity course. My goal is to regularly add more content as time permits until the courses are complete after which the prices will increase.
