New video just dropped in the Cybersecurity course on Skool. This video was recorded in July 2026. 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 No outdated screenshots, no "this might look slightly different on your version."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 $14.99 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. Enroll at www.yescertified.com.

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.
