Lab Sessions Where
Cyber Security with AI Finally Clicks
Very few can think, detect, and respond when something actually goes wrong.
That’s why the Cyber Security Program at Meritshot includes structured, live, hands-on lab sessions — designed to turn security concepts into real defensive and investigative skills.
Expert-Led Guest Sessions
Most courses teach what should work.
These guest lectures show what actually works in production — and what breaks.

What You’ll Actually Learn From Industry Experts
Most courses teach what should work. These guest lectures show what actually works in production — and what breaks.
- What happens before, during, and after a breach
- Why clean code isn’t enough in production systems
- How AI is used safely inside real applications
- Tools and workflows used by real engineering teams
- Why some popular techniques don’t survive production
- How engineering decisions align with business goals
Signals (Unfiltered)
- What separates strong developers from average ones
- Common interview mistakes that cost offers
- How interview questions map to real work
Interactive by Design — Not a
One-Way Talk
These guest lectures are discussion-led, not broadcast-style.
One-Way Talkk.
- Live case breakdowns
- Open Q&A (technical + career)
- Follow-up questions encouraged
Industries. One Reality Check.
- Product companies and startups
- Fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, analytics teams
- Security teams protecting production systems at scale
“Is this important?”
They start asking:
“How would this hold up in a real system?”
That shift in thinking is what turns learners into practicing cybersecurity expert
(Blunt Truth)
- Have never seen real production security environments
- Don’t understand trade-offs
- Overestimate what matters
You’re Not Left to Figure It Out
