Security training and penetration testing company Offensive Security today announced a new free streaming series to assist cybersecurity learning.

OffSec Live: PEN-200 offers free streaming access to Offensive Security’s industry-leading Penetration Testing with Kali Linux (PEN-200/PWK) training course in an instructor-led series. The course lasts for 25 weeks and provides currently enrolled PEN-200/PWK students and as well as potential students a way to explore areas of cybersecurity that may be new to them, at no extra cost.

For enrolled students, the stream provides cybersecurity learning and improves preparedness for the Offensive Security Certified Professional exam.

OffSec Live: PEN-200 provides increased access to Offensive Security’s cybersecurity training material, allowing interested professionals to explore and experiment. The program covers material from PEN-200, Offensive Security’s foundational penetration testing course designed to teach students the skills and mindset required to be a successful penetration tester.

The program will include a week-to-week learning plan with learning objectives, time management recommendations, course modules of note and recommended lab exercises. The semi-weekly streaming sessions will provide a forum for course-specific learning, guidance and lab demos. Offensive Security will also provide and moderate a dedicated OffSec Live: PEN-200 Discord channel to collaborate and discuss the PEN-200 methodology.

“At Offensive Security our goal is to make learning cybersecurity more accessible and provide a platform for continuous learning and skills development,” Jeff McBride, chief student and customer success officer at Offensive Security, said in a statement.

Offensive Security will host live streams for 25 weeks on Twitch from 12 to 1 p.m. EDT every Wednesday and Friday from June 22 to Nov. 30. The sessions will consist of semi-weekly, interactive presentations. On-demand recordings of the livestreams will be available for currently enrolled PEN-200 students.
