The aim of the programme is to provide participants with comprehensive training in the fundamental principles of cybersecurity, through a balanced approach that combines theory and practical application. The program focuses on understanding core security concepts, identifying threats and attacks, as well as using modern tools and techniques to protect systems, networks, and data.

Participants become familiar with operating systems (Windows & Linux), networks and firewalls, packet analysis techniques using Wireshark, basic encryption methods (OpenSSL), as well as ethical hacking tools such as Nmap, Burp Suite, and Nessus. At the same time, they are introduced to the principles of Incident Response and SIEM systems (Wazuh), learning how to detect and manage security incidents.

Through hands-on lab exercises and virtual environments (TryHackMe, OverTheWire, Kali Linux, Ubuntu), trainees gain practical experience in solving realistic scenarios and applying defense and detection techniques.

Participants who complete the programme may, if they wish, continue with official Fortinet Training through IDEAL, in order to prepare for an internationally recognized certification, thus creating a clear and structured learning pathway. In the next stage, the FortiOS Administrator Training programme effectively prepares participants for obtaining the Fortinet NSE 4 certification, upon successful completion of the examination. In this way, a clear educational pathway is established:

Diploma in Cyber Security (IST College) → Fortinet Workshop (IDEAL) → Official Fortinet Certification

Participants who wish to continue their educational journey through official Fortinet trainings have the option to enroll via IST College. The participation cost for these trainings amounts to €1,800 per participant.

Note: IST College provides foundational education in cybersecurity. Official Fortinet certifications are provided exclusively by IDEAL.

Through 50 hours of theoretical and practical training, you will delve into critical thematic areas such as:

• Fundamental principles of Cybersecurity (CIA Triad, types of attacks and threats)
• Operating Systems Security (Windows & Linux permissions, logs)
• Networks & Security (TCP/IP, firewalls, packet analysis with Wireshark)
• Threats & Attacks (Malware, phishing, DoS/DDoS)
• Basic Level Cryptography (Hashing, SSL/TLS, OpenSSL)
• Ethical Hacking & Penetration Testing (Recon, Scanning, Exploitation)
• Security Tools (Kali Linux, Nessus, Burp Suite)
• Incident Response & SIEM (incident detection and management, Wazuh)

After completing the programme, you will be able to:

• Identify and analyze cyberattacks.
• Apply basic prevention and defense measures.
• Use professional ethical hacking and SIEM tools.
• Understand how systems and networks operate from a security-oriented perspective.

The programme is the first substantial step for anyone wishing to build a solid foundation in the field of cyber security and continue with more advanced specializations.

• ΙT professionals, support technicians, system and network administrators who want to understand the basic principles of information security and become familiar with practical tools such as Wireshark, Nmap, Nessus, Burp Suite, and Wazuh.
• Newcomers who wish to start a career in cybersecurity, without requiring prior experience, but with a willingness to learn practical skills through virtual labs.

• On-Site: The programme can be attended in person at IST College’s modern campus, located at 68 Syngrou Avenue, next to Syngrou–Fix Metro Station.

• Live-Online: The programme can be attended online in real time through IST College’s modern and user-friendly digital learning platform, providing direct access to live classes and all course materials.

• On-Demand: Participants have access to recorded sessions for supplementary learning purposes. These recordings are provided to complement live teaching and support the overall learning experience.

The Diploma in Cyber Security is also certified for the quality of its curriculum, its instructors, its student assessment methodology, and the quality of its educational materials, under the Expert-level Quality Training Label by ACTA, a spin-off of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

Web Design & Development remains an extremely interesting specialty in terms of subject matter, but also in terms of professional rehabilitation. It is an industry that is constantly evolving along with the development of technology and therefore continuous training is required even for professionals in the field. This need is the reason for the creation of this programme, which through learning and practicing the tools offers you all the knowledge and skills needed to be able to cope successfully in this professional field.

The main objective of the seminar is to offer participants the opportunity to come into direct contact with professionals in the industry and acquire practical skills in technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Each student will have the opportunity to create an individual custom website, which will provide valuable experience and enhance their professional profile, facilitating their job search in the field of Front End Development, both in Greece and abroad. In this way, participants will be able to quickly reach a level that will allow them to confidently apply for jobs in the Web Development industry.

The seminar is addressed to graduates of high school, IEK, TEI or TEI, who want to acquire Front End Developer knowledge and learn about the whole process behind web development.

Through the seminar, you will be informed about all the latest trends and requirements of the industry, as well as the best practices that you can follow yourself to maximize your efficiency and your chances of being employed in the industry.

The programme is offered with:

• Online participation in the classroom during class time by following the lesson plan (modern tele-education).

• E-learning with on demand video recording of the course at your own time with a personalized study plan, through IST College’s modern educational platform (asynchronous tele-learning).

• Blended Learning: create your own flexible study programme using any of the above modes of attendance in combination
