THE OPV CYBER CURRICULUM
CyberShield
Courses
Every OPV Cyber course is built on one principle: the human is the target, so the human is where defense begins. Our curriculum covers the people, roles, and industries attackers target, delivered by professionals who have been on both the offensive and defensive sides of these attacks.
THE EMPLOYEE SUITE
Organizational Workforce
EXECUTIVES, EMPLOYEES, REMOTE WORKERS
CyberShield:
Everyday Defender
Most breaches don't start with a hacker. They start with a habit. Comprehensive cyber hygiene course turns your people into your most important line of defense, covering the everyday practices that keep an organization secure, aligned with NIST and CISA standards and taught from the attacker's perspective, so they understand not just what to do, but why.
CyberShield:
Digital Shadow
Attackers do their homework before they ever make contact. Your name, your address, your routines, your relationships, all of it sitting in plain sight online, waiting to be used against you. This course shows your people the digital footprint they are leaving, how it gets weaponized, and how to lock it down before someone else finds it.
CyberShield:
Keys To Everything
Attackers don't break in. They log in. One stolen or reused password is all it takes, and it's how some of the largest breaches in history actually started. No malware, no genius hack, just a credential that should have been stronger. The Key to Everything shows your people exactly how passwords get stolen, cracked, and reused, and teaches the habits and multi-factor defenses that make them nearly impossible to beat.
CyberShield:
Locked Down
The office walls are gone, and attackers know it. Home networks, personal devices, public Wi-Fi, the places your people work are the places you can't defend. One weak password, one open connection, one unguarded screen, and they're in. This course teaches your people to carry your defenses with them, and lock down wherever they work.
CyberShield:
Seeing The Attack
Your defenders are fighting an enemy they have never watched work. This course flips the keyboard and shows the attack from the inside: how a target gets chosen, breached, escalated, and bled dry. Taught from the chair of people who ran these operations, your team learns to see it coming, and stop it before it lands.
CyberShield:
Spot the Setup
A focused course on social engineering for non-technical staff. Covers the psychological levers attackers pull, authority, urgency, fear, familiarity, and walks employees through real scenarios: the suspicious email, the urgent call from "IT," the too-good-to-be-true text. Your people learn to feel when something is off and stop the attack before it lands.
THE EXECUTIVE SUITE
Executive Leadership
CEO, COO, CFO, DECISION MAKERS
CyberShield:
Executive Target
You are the most hunted person in your organization. High authority, high visibility, high payout, attackers study executives the way they study no one else. A cloned voice, a fake email in your name, a deepfake on a video call: this is how leaders get used as the way in. This course shows you the attack from their side, and how to stay ahead of it.
CyberShield:
Boardroom Breach
When ransomware shuts you down, the board answers for it. Cyber risk is no longer an IT problem, it's a fiduciary one, and leaders are accountable for decisions made before an attack and in the moments during it. This course gives you the questions to ask, the risks to own, and the judgment to lead under fire.
CyberShield:
Crisis Command
The breach is happening now. The systems are down, the press is calling, the clock is running, and every eye turns to you. What you do in the next hour decides whether this is a contained incident or a headline. This scenario-driven course puts leadership through a live attack from first alert to public response, so when it's real, you lead instead of freeze.
CyberShield:
Leading the Culture
Security isn't bought, it's led. The strongest defense in any organization is a culture where every employee takes ownership, and that starts at the top. This course shows executives how to set the tone, model the habits, and build a workforce that defends the organization because leadership made it matter. Your people follow what you make important.
IT PROFESSIONAL SUITE
IT Professionals
HELPDESK, SYS ADMIN, IT MANAGERS
CyberShield:
Human Helpdesk
One phone call is all it takes. Your help desk holds the keys, reset rights, account access, the power to let someone in, which makes them the first call an attacker makes. This course analyzes well-known help-desk attacks from the attacker's side, building the verification discipline and pretext-recognition that turn your support team from the easiest door into a locked one.
CyberShield:
Cyber Kill Chain
Every attack moves through stages, and the unseen attacker counts on your team missing them. This course walks the cyber kill chain from the offensive side: reconnaissance, intrusion, escalation, and the silent movement that bleeds an organization dry. Taught from the chair of people who ran these operations, your defenders learn to see each link, and break the chain before it ends in a breach.
CyberShield:
Incident Response
When the breach hits, paper plans fall apart. This course gives your technical team the playbook for the moment it counts: detect the attack in progress, respond with speed and order, recover without making it worse. Taught from the chair of people who ran these operations, your defenders work the problem before the real one tests them.
CyberShield:
Ransomware Ready
The screens lock, the demand appears, and every decision now runs through you. Ransomware doesn't just encrypt files, it freezes operations, drains millions, and forces calls no one is ready to make. This course prepares IT managers to lead the response: contain the spread, weigh the pay-or-don't-pay decision, coordinate the team, and recover with the business still standing. Built from the attacker's side, so you know their next move before they make it.
CyberShield:
Hardened
Attackers study you every day. Does your team study them back? Most IT teams are too stretched to track the threats actually being used, and that blind spot is where breaches begin. Hardened builds the discipline most teams never make time for: scrubbing the network, closing the gaps, and staying current on the attacks being used right now.
FINANCE SUITE
Financial Sector
FOR ADVISORS, AGENTS, FIRMS & CLIENTS
CyberShield:
Financial Fortress
In finance, the breach doesn't steal data, it steals money, trust, and the client relationships you spent years building. Attackers target advisors, agents, and firms because that's where the money lives. Financial Fortress is the complete program for the financial professional, covering the full threat landscape from the attacker's side, across every role in your organization. The most important defense in finance is the human one.
CyberShield:
Client Armor
Your clients are targets too, and when they get hit, they look to you. Client Armor arms the people you serve with the protection they need: how to spot the scam, secure their accounts, and guard the wealth you manage together. A protected client is a loyal client, and a defense that extends beyond your walls to the people who trust you most.
CyberShield:
Wealth Defense
Wealth makes you a target, and the wealthy are hunted hardest. Investors and high-net-worth individuals face attacks built specifically for them: tailored impersonation, fraud, and theft aimed at everything they've built. Wealth Defense shows them how the attack works and how to shut it down, protecting their assets, their identity, and their family, aligned with SEC, FINRA, and CISA guidance.
CyberShield:
Guardian Angel
They worked their whole lives for this, and attackers want to take it in a single phone call. Older clients are the most targeted and most costly victims of financial fraud, and a lifetime of retirement savings can vanish overnight. Guardian protects them and the people who care for them, advisors, families, and caregivers, with the tools to recognize the scam and stop it before the money is gone.
EDUCATIONAL SUITE
Youth, Educators & Families
STUDENTS, TEACHERS, FAMILIES
CyberShield:
K-12 Educators
Teachers protect their students every day. Now they have to protect them online too. Schools are prime cyber targets, holding student data on stretched budgets and aging systems. This course gives educators the awareness to recognize threats, safeguard student information, and keep the classroom secure. Built for teachers, not IT departments.
CyberShield:
Guardians of the Classroom
Teachers don't just protect themselves, they protect every student in their care. Children are prime targets: clean identities, untouched credit, and data that schools are legally bound to safeguard. This course shows educators how student information gets stolen, how to recognize the threats aimed at kids, and how to keep the classroom, and every child in it, secure.
CyberShield:
Youth Defender
This generation grew up online, but the threats grew up too: AI-faked images, fake profiles, and manipulation designed to fool the smartest kids in the room. Youth Defender gives teens the upper hand, teaching them to spot the trap, guard their identity, and own their digital lives with confidence.
CyberShield:
Family Fortress
The family is the softest target an attacker will ever find. Shared devices, unguarded networks, kids online, and no one watching for threats. Family Fortress helps families protect themselves together: securing devices and accounts, spotting scams, and keeping kids safe online, with habits built for real family life.
DARK MIRROR SUITE
Specialized & Advanced
DEEPER DIVE INTO CYBERSECURITY, IT PROFESSIONALS
Dark Mirror:
Social Engineering & HUMINT
Every breach begins with a decision a human was manipulated into making. DARK MIRROR reveals how social engineers actually work: the HUMINT tradecraft, the psychology, and the neuro-linguistic techniques that turn trust into a way in. Your team learns to see manipulation in real time, and to feel when something is off before they act on it.
Dark Mirror:
The Enemy Within
The most dangerous attacker already has a badge. They don't break in, they're already inside, with access, trust, and knowledge no outsider could earn. Whether malicious or simply careless, insiders cause some of the costliest breaches there are. This course teaches your organization to recognize the warning signs and act before trust becomes the threat.
Dark Mirror:
Ghost in the Machine
The most dangerous attacker no longer needs to break in. AI can clone a voice your team trusts, write a flawless email in your executive's style, and adapt faster than your defenses can respond. This course shows IT leaders and executives how artificial intelligence weaponizes every attack surface, from social engineering and deepfakes to ransomware and physical security, and teaches your organization to recognize the synthetic threat before it succeeds.
Dark Mirror:
Fortified Defense
Attackers don't respect your org chart. They slip through the gap between the people guarding the network and the people guarding the building, a seam most organizations never even see. IT, security leadership, and physical security defend in silos, and that gap is the way in. This course unites the three to fortify the whole castle as one, because the strongest wall still fails at an unguarded gate.
Dark Mirror:
Threat Hunter
Waiting for the alarm means you're already too late. The most dangerous threats live quietly inside a network for months before anyone notices. Threat Hunter teaches your team to stop waiting and start hunting, going deep into the DARK WEB where attacks are bought, sold, and launched, so they know the enemy before the enemy strikes. Taught by people who know how the hunted stays hidden.
