Training Programs

Secure infrastructure isn’t just about tools — it’s about the people who design, build, and maintain them.

Our training turns system administrators, DevOps engineers, and security professionals into confident practitioners of secure FreeBSD and container management. Programs combine expert-led instruction with hands-on labs so the skills actually stick.

The BastilleBSD Secure Systems Program

Our flagship program is an intensive, structured curriculum that progresses from FreeBSD fundamentals to advanced containerization and infrastructure automation.

• Progressive curriculum — a clear path from foundational administration to advanced BastilleBSD and automation topics.
• Hands-on labs — real-world scenarios that build confidence deploying and managing secure systems.
• Self-assessments — regular checkpoints to reinforce and retain key concepts.
• Learn from the source — instruction direct from the creator of BastilleBSD.
