Learn Python in depth and gain essential skills for customizing and developing your own information security tools. This course empowers security professionals to automate tasks, craft custom tools for forensics, network defense, and penetration testing, and respond swiftly to emerging threats. Build solutions for AI, data science, cloud security, and more.
Overview
Automate security tasks with Python programming skills built specifically for security practitioners. Write tools that enhance penetration testing, forensics, and incident response without becoming a full-time developer.
Security work demands automation, but most programming courses ignore security use cases. SEC573 teaches Python through security-relevant exercises that produce immediately useful tools.
Build practical security tools:
Fundamentals for Security
- Master Python basics through security examples
- Parse logs, packets, and forensic artifacts
- Interact with security APIs and services
- Handle binary data and network protocols
Offensive Automation
- Develop custom reconnaissance tools
- Build exploitation assistants and payloads
- Automate lateral movement techniques
- Create custom C2 capabilities
Defensive Automation
- Parse and analyze security logs at scale
- Build automated triage and analysis tools
- Create custom detection signatures
- Integrate with SIEM and SOAR platforms
Write clean, maintainable code following security best practices. Understand how attackers use Python so you can detect and defend against their tools.
Hands-on labs build progressively toward a complete security toolkit you take home and continue developing.
Earn GIAC GPYC certification (exam sold separately). 36 CPE credits across 6 intensive days.
Highlights
- Leverage Python to perform routine tasks quickly and efficiently. Automate log analysis and packet analysis with file operations, regular expressions, and analysis modules to find evil. Develop forensics tools to carve binary data and extract new artifacts. Read data from databases and the Windows Registry.
- 128 hands-on labs covering Python fundamentals, data structures, debugging in VS Code, file operations, log parsing, packet analysis, disk and memory forensics, web requests, network sockets, and offensive automation techniques.
- Certification: Prepares for Python Coder (GPYC). Ideal for security professionals, forensic analysts, network defenders, and penetration testers seeking automation skills. 36 CPEs across 6 days.

SEC573 - Seat | Seat license for Defense - SEC573: AI Security Automation using Python, LLMs, and MCP | $8,780.00 |
Dimensions summary
This listing uses one pricing dimension: a per-seat license for the SEC573 course. You pay for each seat, so cost scales with the number of people you enroll. There are no separate tiers or size options. To add more learners, you buy more seats. The seat covers access to this six-day course, which includes hands-on labs on Python, AI agents, and security automation. Choose the seat quantity that matches your team's needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One seat is a single license for one learner. It cannot be shared. Each person you enroll in the SEC573 course needs their own seat. The seat covers this six-day course with 128 hands-on labs on Python, AI agents, and security automation, plus preparation for the GPYC certification.
The seat covers the course itself. A GIAC certification attempt and extra online course access are described as separate add-ons on the seller site. Confirm with the vendor whether these are included with your Marketplace seat or purchased separately.
Cost scales directly with seat count. Each additional learner requires buying another seat. There are no tiers or bulk size options in this listing, so adding people means adding seats one for one. Enroll the exact number of people you need.
