Open your browser. Start learning.

The tutor shows you.
The narrator explains. You practice.

Do not spend your first evening configuring an environment. The application, tools and task context are in one place. You do not need Docker, a VPN, a virtual machine or paid software.

See what to pay attention to

A virtual tutor walks you through the example and highlights important parts of the application, code or tool. Connect the instruction to what is happening on screen.

Hear why the result matters

Narration explains the mechanism, decision and result. Pause the guidance, return to an earlier step and work through it at your own pace.

Test your own reasoning

Take over in the exercise: change data, run a test or make a decision. Compare the result and improve your solution using the explanation.

One environment, without switching between a video and a local installation. Tools fit the topic: from HTTP requests and code to a terminal, calculator or document. Practice in simulators and prepared cases, without attacking other people's systems.

What will you be able to do?

From a colored cell to a justified risk decision.

Understand what you assess, where the data comes from and what changes the recommendation. Methods answer an organization's question, not merely produce a score.

Starting point

You have a threat list but struggle to derive action from it.

The skill you develop

Build a scenario connecting a goal, asset, threat, weakness and effect.

How you test it in practice

Write an information-system scenario and identify data needed to assess likelihood and consequences.

Starting point

You multiply numbers without knowing what the scales mean.

The skill you develop

Choose a method, units and a way to express uncertainty.

How you test it in practice

Compare qualitative assessment with a quantitative model, justify assumptions and test which most influence the result.

Starting point

The analysis ends with a heatmap, without an owner or plan.

The skill you develop

Turn the assessment into treatment options, a recommendation and review.

How you test it in practice

Compare control costs and effects, assign an owner and update the decision with new data.

Why does this matter beyond the course?

Prepare material for discussions about controls, budget and responsibility. The course is standalone, with an emphasis on information systems. Numerical exercises use USD.

Connect each skill to a concrete work product. Return to explanations while you practice.

A syllabus backed by materials

Specific topics.
Practice that helps you understand them.

See what makes up the syllabus: lessons, explanations, examples and exercises. The figures below describe different types of materials.

18risk analysis paths
15 specialist paths plus foundations, analysis and method comparisons. This standalone course does not require PRO completion.
50decision cases
34 cases in topic paths and 16 in method comparisons. Further evidence versions of the same case do not increase this count.
243chapters
Distinct chapter content after removing identical duplicates across all paths and eight method-comparison groups. Shared summaries are counted once.
499narrated steps
Distinct guidance segments with commentary within chapters. They are not added to chapter counts, and completing the material does not grant qualifications or licenses to apply methods.

The figures describe the English-language source materials. The waiting list is for the planned Polish edition. These counts do not mean its translation is complete. Demonstration steps, examples and tasks are different units, not hours of video or counts of unique vulnerabilities.

Entry point

Who is this course for?

  • Risk analysts, security specialists and consultants who want to justify recommendations better.
  • System and process owners comparing controls, costs and the consequences of downtime or data loss.
  • People starting with risk who need a coherent path from concepts to their own analysis.

What helps at the start

  • No Web Security PRO completion or prior standards knowledge required.
  • Basic confidence with numbers. Calculations are introduced through examples.

Available in Polish and English — you can switch language at any time. Command names, code snippets and standard identifiers remain in their original form.

How you learn

First, understand.
Then, do it yourself.

From a risk scenario through assumptions and calculations to a decision. The tutor guides the lesson; the workshop lets you test what changes the result.

  1. Understand the situation

    Goal, constraints and inputs. Know what you are testing and why.

  2. See the mechanism

    Watch a demonstration with tutor commentary, step by step.

  3. Complete the task

    Work with data, a tool or a scenario. Compare the result with your expectation.

  4. Draw a conclusion

    Justify your decision and understand its limitations. Return to anything that needs improvement.

Exercises use simulators and selected mechanisms that run in the browser. They do not require attacking other people's systems.

Planned syllabus

Know what you are learning. And why.

Each area develops a specific skill. Learn not only the topic but also the action and outcome that learning leads to.

Learn standards and methods through original examples. The course does not replace full paid standards or professional qualifications. Exercise amounts are in USD.

Each topic includes a skill and a concrete exercise outcome.

Jacek Wlodarczyk

Project author

Jacek Wlodarczyk

Creator of Cyberwiedza, cyberszkola and AI SecLabs. In these courses, I connect explanations of mechanisms with practice, observation and decisions you need to justify.

Running a command is not enough. What matters is what its output confirms, what it does not confirm and what the next step should be.

More about the author

Before joining

Good to know.

Do I need CVSS knowledge or to complete Web Security PRO?

No. This standalone course starts with the analysis purpose, scenario and meaning of data. CVSS appears as an example of technical assessment that must be distinguished from a complete risk decision.

Do I need to be a mathematician?

No. Calculations start with units, probability, event counts and losses. More developed models support comparing assumptions and interpreting results. What matters is understanding data provenance and what changes the recommendation.

How should I use the specialist paths?

Choose a case close to your work to learn a domain's typical questions, dependencies and documents. Paths help select an analytical perspective. They do not replace full standards, industry practice or required qualifications.

Am I buying a course now?

No. This is an upcoming course announcement and an interest list. Joining is not a purchase, a place reservation or a commitment to pay.

When will it launch, and what will it cost?

The launch date, price and access terms will be announced before sales open. The interest list is how we send that information.

What language will the course use?

The course is available in Polish and in English — you can switch language at any time, and lessons, exercise explanations and narration exist in both. Commands, code and tool names keep their original syntax, as used in everyday work.

Do I need to install Docker, a VPN or my own lab?

No. All course exercises run in your browser on a computer with internet access. Training applications, terminals, editors and workshops are part of the platform. You do not install Docker, a virtual machine or a VPN, and you do not need paid external tools.

Is this just a collection of videos?

No. You work in an interactive environment. A virtual tutor highlights important elements, and narration explains the action and its result. Pause the lesson, return to earlier steps and run your own experiments. This guidance is built into the course, not individual consultation with a person.

Do the exercises act on other people's systems?

No. You use training applications, simulators and prepared data. Learn the mechanism and its limitations in a safe environment. External resources are supplementary, not required to complete the exercises.

Will I receive a certificate or a job guarantee?

Yes, a certificate of completion. When you complete the course, you receive a certificate in English with a unique code that anyone can check at cyberszkola.pl/verify. It confirms completion of the course and is issued by the author; it is not an industry certification. We do not promise employment.

Are these official OWASP or ISO courses?

No. These are independently authored courses using public references and original cases. They do not replace licensed standards, accreditation or qualifications required in regulated industries.
