AI Cyber Defense · 200 advanced articles
Defend against AI-assisted attacks with practical guidance for cybersecurity and network professionals. Ten reading paths contain 20 articles each, with threat scenarios, evidence requirements, control designs and authorized validation plans. The collection includes protection for AI systems used by defenders and businesses. Behavioral evidence is kept separate from claims about an attacker's use of AI.
AI Agents & Local LLM · 300 techniques
Build reliable agents and run language models on your own infrastructure. Explore 160 AI Agents techniques and 140 Local LLM techniques across 15 reading paths, with 20 techniques per path. Each guide includes an implementation action, a validation exercise, platform context and official documentation for further reading.
Data monitoring · 200 practical articles
Diagnose stale reports, late logs, slow queries and unreliable alerts. Explore 40 Power BI articles, 40 Splunk articles, 40 SQL Server articles, plus 20 each on PostgreSQL, MySQL, pipeline freshness and data quality, and alerting and observability. Each guide connects a specific symptom to evidence, a focused correction and validation.
CCNA exam preparation · 200 techniques
Prepare for CCNA 200-301 v1.1 with 100 focused topics, each paired with a recall guide and an original practice exercise. Build understanding through packet tracing, subnet calculations, lab evidence, troubleshooting and spaced review. These are independent study guides; 200 is the collection size, not the number of questions on the exam.
