About Sam

I am a cybersecurity professional with over 5 years of experience in network security, cloud security and infrastructure protection. I am a Cisco Certified Academy Instructor and an official Cisco Networking Academy instructor, and I hold the CCNA and CCNP certifications, so I can explain not only how attacks work but also how the network behind them really works.

I help students and IT professionals in Europe and the USA build real cybersecurity skills, from security analyst work to penetration testing and prepare for certifications such as CompTIA Security+ and PenTest+. I have trained students and professionals in cybersecurity, penetration testing and Linux hardening, collaborated with academic institutions including the University of Poitiers, and founded Caplogy Academy, where I guide aspiring cybersecurity professionals.

My teaching style is practical and structured: clear explanations, hands-on labs, exam-style practice questions and a personalised study plan. Lessons are available in English or French.

About the lesson

Whether you are new to cybersecurity or preparing for the Security+ or PenTest+ exam, every lesson is built around your goal and your level.

Who it is for:
- Beginners who want to understand cybersecurity from scratch
- Students and IT professionals preparing for CompTIA Security+ or PenTest+, or for a career as a security analyst or pentester
- Network and system administrators who want to protect their infrastructure

What we can cover:
- Cybersecurity fundamentals: threats, attacks, malware, social engineering and security best practices
- Network security: firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS and secure network design
- Security operations: threat intelligence, monitoring, vulnerability assessment and incident response
- Security analyst skills (SOC): log analysis, alert triage, threat detection and incident handling
- Penetration testing and ethical hacking: reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, privilege escalation and professional reporting, including PenTest+ preparation
- Risk management and compliance
- Networking essentials when you need them (OSI model, TCP/IP, subnetting, routing) so you understand exactly what you are protecting

How a lesson works:
1. A clear explanation of the concept
2. A hands-on lab with industry-standard tools such as Wireshark, Nmap, Burp Suite, pfSense, Cisco Packet Tracer and Kali Linux
3. Exam-style practice questions with detailed corrections

You also get a personalised study plan and exam tips.

Start with a free 30-minute lesson: send me your goal, your current level and your exam date, and I will prepare a plan for you. Lessons are online by webcam, scheduled to suit students in Europe and the USA.

Had my first session with Samer and moving forward. He breakes things down in a digestible way that helps with absorbing the content and the phonetics of the words. So far so good! Looking forward to our future sessions and finally becoming fluent in French!
