What this course is
Where cybersecurity stops being intimidating.
ISC2 CC (Certified in Cybersecurity) is the world's most-earned new cybersecurity credential. ISC2 made the exam free — and our role is to make sure you pass it on the first attempt with real understanding, not just memorisation.
At Nexperts, CC is delivered as a structured 3-day programme. Each domain is anchored to a real working scenario (an access-review at a bank, a small-business BC/DR plan, a phishing IR drill). By day 3 you've not only passed CC content — you have stories that recruiters love.
ISC2 made the CC exam free for the right reason — to grow the profession. That doesn't mean it is easy. Five domains. Real concepts. Real tradecraft.
The 2026 CC objectives stay focused on the five core domains — we cover all five with real-world scenarios drawn from Malaysian SMEs, banks and MSSPs. Most of our graduates are in cybersecurity roles within 6 months of the cert.

97% of our CC candidates pass on first attempt.

Why our pass rate is 97%
Industry average: ~80%
CC's pass rate is already higher than most certs. Most candidates pass through self-study but a meaningful minority fail because they treated foundational concepts as optional.
Nexperts: 97%
We run a structured 3-day programme with two mocks. We anchor concepts to real stories. We provide career mentoring so candidates know what comes after CC.
Your Cybersecurity Path
CC is the entry to the profession.
CC is the foundation. From here, the natural progressions are CompTIA Security+ (broader foundation), EC-Council CSA (SOC track), or ISC2 SSCP (intermediate practitioner) within 6–12 months.
Before this
No prerequisite
CC is the starting credential. Pure foundation, no prior knowledge required.

"Worth way more than the free exam fee. The career-mentoring session at the end pointed me at CSA next, and I'm now a SOC analyst at an MSSP. Three weeks of life-change."
