A New Way to Learn Cybersecurity — From Those Who Build It

echo5 Academy offers cohort-based training programmes for people building, selling, securing, and investing in cybersecurity products.

Each course is live, interactive, and built around real-world challenges — not theory.

We don’t teach “cyber”.

We teach the skills that move a security product forward.

How It Works

• Live sessions (between 4 and 10 weeks depending on the course)
• 2-hour sessions delivered weekly via Zoom Workspaces
• Run by echo5 content creators with deep experience in product, sales, security, marketing, and investment
• Interactive whiteboards, slide sessions, and live exercises
• Access to a dedicated cohort group on echo5.live with weekly challenges, bonus content, and peer discussion
• Industry-recognised echo5 Academy Certification on completion

What Makes It Different

• Built for busy people – One session a week. High value. No fluff.
• Designed for practical use – You’ll walk away with templates, frameworks, and experience, not just slides.
• Cross-functional by design – Product, GTM, Security, and VC perspectives in every course.
• Live and async – The session ends, but the learning continues via echo5.live challenges and discussion.
• Modern learning format – Think quests, community feedback, live practice… not old-school homework.

Who It's For

• Product managers, marketers, AEs, SDRs, SEs, and security teams at early-stage cyber startups
• Founders and executives looking to upskill fast
• Investors, advisors, and consultants supporting cyber innovation
• Anyone ready to understand the full cybersecurity startup journey

What You'll Learn

Different courses cover different specialisms, including:

• Building products that solve real pain
• Getting early customers and growing revenue
• Speaking the language of security and trust
• Creating brand voice and marketing that resonates
• Preparing for investment or advising portfolio companies

Courses Run Throughout the Year

Each cohort is capped at 20 people.

Some courses run for 4 weeks. Others go deeper over 10.

All are taught live and include hands-on activities, peer review, and optional challenges between sessions.
