Six Production Deliverables You Build & Defend

Recruiters don't hire attendance certificates—they hire demonstrable output. Each residency phase produces tangible security audit reports, detection playbooks, and exploit proof-of-work pushed directly to your recruiter-facing GitHub portfolio.

DELIVERABLE 01 // OFFENSIVE security

Enterprise VAPT Executive Audit Dossier

Execute a full simulated penetration test against segmented enterprise subnets. Chain OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, conduct Active Directory Kerberoasting, and compile a C-level risk remediation dossier.
