Email Security Hardening

For any business whose name could be used to ask a customer for money.

Right now, without any hacking at all, a stranger can send an email that appears to come from your director. For most Indian businesses this is simply true — and it takes an afternoon to fix.

Where do you fit

Three ways in.

Security services for businesses, hands-on training for people entering the field, and free tools for anyone. Pick the one that describes you — you will not have to read the rest.

Flagship programme

The 90-Day Cyber Security Analyst Program.

Ninety daily sessions across seven phases, from Linux fundamentals to two capstone projects you can put in front of an employer. One session a day, each with a lab and a deliverable.

Days 1–14 · Building the ground floor

Before anyone touches a security tool, they need to be comfortable in Linux, understand how networks actually move data, and know exactly where the legal and ethical boundaries sit.

Ethical undertaking signed here

Every student signs a written commitment to practise only in owned or explicitly authorised environments before any practical work begins. This is not a formality — it is the condition of participation.

Day 1–3

Ethics, systems & lab safety

Where the legal line sits, how a machine actually works, and building an isolated VM you keep for ninety days.

Day 4–7

Linux from the ground up

Filesystem, commands, users and permissions — then a review session that checks you can actually do it.

Day 8–12

Networking for defenders

OSI and TCP/IP, subnetting, ports, DNS and HTTP, understood from a defender's point of view.

Day 13–14

Diagnostics & network map

Troubleshooting tools, then you build and submit a complete map of your own lab network.

Days 15–28 · Threats and the web

Fourteen sessions covering how attacks actually work, and the web fundamentals that every application security finding ultimately rests on.

Defensive framing throughout

Injection, XSS and file upload risks are taught through what the fix looks like, not through a working payload. Practical work happens on DVWA and Juice Shop locally — never a live application.

Day 15–18

Threats, malware & phishing

Threat vs vulnerability vs risk, malware families, phishing red flags, and authentication security.

Day 19–21

Cryptography, CVE & CVSS

Encryption vs hashing, then reading real public vulnerability data and rating it honestly.

Day 22–25

Web technologies & OWASP Top 10

Requests, responses, APIs, and the vulnerability classes that matter most in practice.

Day 26–28

Access control & secure configuration

XSS, file upload, hardening — closing with a written web risk summary.

Days 29–42 · First contact with real work

This is where students stop learning about security and start doing it. Log files, packet captures, incident workflow — and an honest map of where the jobs actually are.

The skill that gets people hired

Employers consistently report that entry-level candidates cannot read a log file. By the end of this phase you can open an authentication log, isolate a brute-force attack, identify the source and establish the attack window.

Day 29–31

SOC operations & logging

How a SOC actually runs, then Windows Event Logging and Linux auth.log, syslog and journald.

Day 32–34

Wireshark & incident response

Reading traffic, then the first hour of an incident: detect, contain, assess, document.

Day 36–39

Nmap ethics, VA & OSINT

Asset discovery, vulnerability assessment basics and reconnaissance — scope discipline first, tools second.

Day 40–42

Reporting & the career map

Burp Suite introduction, how to write a finding, and an honest look at which roles actually exist.

Days 43–60 · The heart of the programme

Eighteen sessions — the longest phase. SIEM and detection engineering, then VAPT methodology and professional reporting, closing with the core assessment both tracks depend on.

Day 60 core assessment

A practical assessment covering everything to this point. Both the Blue Team and VAPT phases assume you have passed it, because both build directly on this material.

Day 43–46

Sysmon, Splunk & SPL

Endpoint telemetry, installing and feeding a SIEM, then querying it properly.

Day 47–49

MITRE ATT&CK & detection

Mapping observed behaviour to known techniques, writing detections, and threat hunting basics.

Day 50–55

VAPT methodology & scope

Rules of engagement, service discovery, enumeration, validation and the web assessment workflow.

Day 56–60

Reporting, resume & assessment

Professional security reporting, your resume and GitHub, an interview drill, then the core assessment.

Days 61–70 · Life as an analyst

Ten days living a realistic L1 shift. Triage, prioritise, investigate, escalate, document, hand over — then do it again under time pressure.

Two full SOC day simulations

Back-to-back simulated shifts with a live alert queue. You decide what matters, what waits, and what gets escalated — and you write the handover.

Day 61–63

Shift workflow & advanced SPL

How a shift and handover actually run, then authentication analysis and endpoint telemetry at scale.

Day 64–65

Phishing & network investigation

Full phishing workflow — header analysis, indicator extraction, the report. Then network alert investigation.

Day 66–67

Tuning & tabletop

Building a dashboard, tuning noisy alerts, and an incident response tabletop exercise.

Day 68–70

Two SOC simulations & assessment

Two full simulated days, then the Blue Team practical assessment.

Days 71–80 · Authorised assessment work

Vulnerability assessment end to end, always within authorised practice environments — scoping, discovery, assessment, evidence, risk rating and a complete report.

Authorised targets only

All offensive technique is practised exclusively against deliberately vulnerable applications built for training. No live system, website or network is ever a target at any point in this programme.

Day 71–72

Engagement planning & recon

Written scope, rules of engagement, and asset mapping before a single tool runs.

Day 73–74

Network & web assessment

Service assessment, then structured web vulnerability assessment on lab targets.

Day 75–77

Evidence, risk rating & reporting

Handling evidence properly, retesting, rating risk defensibly, and writing the report.

Day 78–80

VAPT capstone & assessment

A full assessment and its report, then the VAPT practical assessment.

Days 81–90 · Proof of capability

Two capstone cases, a curated portfolio, and honest interview preparation. You leave with something to show, not just something to claim.

What we do not promise

This programme builds skills and portfolio evidence. It does not guarantee a job, salary or placement — that depends on you, the employer and the market. Any provider telling you otherwise is not being straight with you.

Day 81–84

Portfolio & interview drills

Curating the work, a technical drill, an HR and communication round, and application strategy.

Day 85–86

Final capstones

One SOC incident case and one VAPT case, both investigated and written to analyst standard.

Day 87–88

Presentation & final assessment

Present your capstone and defend it, then the final technical assessment.

Day 89–90

Career review & community

An individual review of where you actually stand, and a plan for continuing after the programme ends.

How we work

No surprises, at any stage.

Scoping call

A conversation at no charge to understand what you actually need. No pitch, no obligation.

Written proposal

Clear scope, deliverables and fees within 24 hours. No hidden costs added later.

Signed agreement

An MOU or engagement letter before any work begins. Both sides know exactly what was agreed.

Delivery & documentation

Delivered personally, never subcontracted. Complete documentation within five working days.

Why SpiderX Defense

What actually makes the difference.

Practitioner-led

Delivered by a working cybersecurity analyst, not a full-time trainer teaching from a textbook.

Documentation included

Every engagement ends with a report, attendance record and feedback analysis — ready to file.

Ethics enforced

Authorised environments only. Written undertakings signed. No exceptions, for anyone.

Honest about outcomes

We build skills and evidence. We do not promise jobs, and we will tell you so directly.

Reviews

What learners and clients say.

We publish only verified reviews from people who have actually completed the course or worked with us. No stock photos, no invented quotes.

First reviews coming soon Our first cohort is completing shortly. Verified reviews will be published here as they finish.

Why this section is currently empty

SpiderX Defense is a young practice. Rather than fill this page with invented testimonials or purchased reviews, we would rather show you nothing until we have something real to show. Every review published here will name a real person from a real cohort, with their permission.

Our commitment

Where we draw the line.

Cybersecurity training carries real responsibility. These are not marketing statements — they are conditions of working with us, and they apply without exception.

Authorised environments only

Every technique is practised exclusively in isolated virtual machines or deliberately vulnerable training applications. No live system, website or network is ever a target.

Written ethical undertaking

Every participant signs a formal undertaking before any practical work, acknowledging the Information Technology Act 2000 and committing to lawful practice.

No placement guarantees

We build skills and portfolio evidence. We make no claim about jobs, salaries or placement, and we would encourage caution about any provider that does.

Nothing offensive for under-18 learners

Any programme delivered to minors covers cyber safety and career awareness only. No penetration testing tools, no password cracking, nothing a learner could misuse.

No invented testimonials

Every review we publish comes from a real, identifiable participant who consented to it. We would rather show an empty page than a fabricated one.

Data handled properly

Participant data is collected minimally, stored securely and never sold or shared. We hold ourselves to the same DPDP standard we advise clients on.

Questions

Straight answers.

No. The 90-Day Analyst Program begins with Linux and networking fundamentals and assumes no prior security knowledge. What you do need is a laptop capable of running virtual machines — minimum 8 GB RAM — and the willingness to do the lab work rather than just watch.
It will build practical skills and portfolio evidence that employers can assess. It will not guarantee you a job — that depends on you, the employer and the market at the time. We do not make placement claims, and we would suggest being cautious about any training provider that does.
A laptop or desktop with at least 8 GB RAM, 50 GB free disk space and a 64-bit processor with virtualisation enabled. A stable internet connection for live sessions. All software used in the programme is free and open source.
Our certificate confirms completion of a SpiderX Defense programme, including hours completed and assessment results. It is not a government licence and not a credential from a certification body such as CompTIA or EC-Council. We state this plainly on every certificate.
Yes — learning security techniques is entirely legal. Applying them against systems you do not own or have written authorisation to test is a criminal offence under the Information Technology Act 2000. Every participant signs an undertaking acknowledging this before any practical work begins.
Both tracks give you all twelve recorded modules, every lab guide, the learner community and a verifiable certificate. The mentored track adds weekly live doubt sessions, a personal review of your final penetration test report, and interview preparation. Self-paced suits people who learn independently; mentored suits those who want guidance and feedback along the way.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act is India's data protection law. The Rules were notified in November 2025 and core obligations become enforceable in May 2027. If your business collects names, phone numbers, email addresses or payment details, it applies to you. There is no small-business exemption.
No. SpiderX Defense is a cybersecurity practice, not a law firm. We provide a structured readiness assessment against the Act and the documentation you are required to hold. Where you need a legal opinion, you should engage a qualified legal advisor.
What you receive

Every engagement ends with a document, not a conversation.

Security work is only useful if someone can act on it afterwards. These are the formats our reporting takes — written for the person who has to fix the problem, with an executive summary for the person who has to approve the budget.
