What is T Academy?

T Academy is H² Security's advanced training platform. We build T-Shaped engineers who combine broad foundational knowledge with deep expertise in security.

Got a big idea? A platform that needs to handle 10 million concurrent users? Learn how to build it from scratch — secure, scalable, and production-ready using 100% open source tools.

No multiple choice. No memorization. We don't care if you can pass a test. We care if you can hack, secure, defend, and build. Deploy multi-mesh, multi-zone applications at scale. That's what matters.

This isn't theoretical. These are the same skills our team uses on real engagements building apps handling 5M+ concurrent users. See our Platform Engineering Division →

VERTICALDeep Expertise

The T-Shaped Engineer

The horizontal bar represents broad foundational skills every engineer needs: Linux, Kubernetes, networking, observability, and infrastructure.

The vertical bar represents deep specialization in your chosen domain: offensive security, defensive operations, application security, or cloud infrastructure.

This model produces professionals who can collaborate across teams while excelling in their specialty.

Broad Knowledge (The Horizontal Bar)

Linux & Operating Systems

RHEL, Debian, BSD, Talos Linux. Master the systems everything runs on.

Kubernetes & Containers

Talos Linux, Podman, containerd. No Docker - we use production-grade tooling.

Service Mesh & Networking

Kuma service mesh, network policies, zero-trust architecture fundamentals.

Observability Stack

Grafana, Loki, Tempo. Complete visibility into your infrastructure.

Identity & Secrets

Keycloak for identity, OpenBao for secrets. Enterprise-grade security primitives.

Infrastructure as Code

Pulumi with Python. Programmable infrastructure, version controlled.

Storage Systems

Longhorn, Ceph. Distributed storage for cloud-native workloads.

CIS Hardening

CIS Benchmarks implementation. Compliance-ready from day one.

GitOps & CI/CD

ArgoCD, GitHub Actions. Security-first deployment pipelines.

Specialization Tracks (The Vertical Bar)

Offensive Security

Penetration testing, vulnerability research, exploitation techniques. Break things to understand how to protect them.

Defensive Security

Blue team operations, threat detection, incident response, SIEM management. Detect and respond to threats.

Adversary Emulation

Red team operations, MITRE ATT&CK framework, advanced persistent threat simulation.

Application Security

Whitebox and blackbox testing, secure SDLC, code review, DevSecOps integration.

Secure Architecture
