ASM Academy: The ASM, DNS and PKI Deep-Dive Certification | 6-minute overview
Who ASM Academy org’s courses are for
For Beginners
You know the basics. You have heard of DNS and PKI. But you have never validated a DNSSEC chain. You have never audited a recursive resolver.
This course will give you a foundation that most professionals never receive.
For Experts (CISSPs, 25‑Year CISOs, Security Architects)
You have the certifications. You have the years. But you were never taught DNS security. You delegated it. You outsourced it. You assumed someone else was checking.
This course will show you what you have been missing — and why your infrastructure is likely already exposed.
For Regulators and Government Technical Staff
You mandate DNSSEC compliance. You audit federal and nationwide agencies. But do you know how to validate DNSSEC yourself?
This course will give you the technical competence to enforce what you mandate.

All security professionals: expanding their knowledge and capability beyond surface-level certifications
-
While formal security certification is beneficial, the ideal candidate is technically minded or holds a technical background. You don't need to be a seasoned expert — but curiosity about how systems actually work is essential.
ASM Academy focuses on deep verification, not theory. A network administrator, systems engineer, or developer will gain massive insight.
If you've ever questioned "but is that really secure?" you'll fit right in.
-
ASM Academy courses are ideally delivered as residential, onsite, instructor-led programmes. We believe security deep-dives require focus, collaboration, and hands-on labs — not passive online watching.
Assessment is practical and continuous: you will validate live DNS, PKI, and ASM artifacts, not just answer multiple-choice questions.
Restrictions on remote attendance may apply to preserve course integrity.
-
ASM Academy certifications recognise real capability in those who attend.
They are awarded directly by the Course Director based on demonstrated competence, not attendance alone.
While not a commercial multiple-choice credential, achieving this certificate signals something rare: you can verify security in real-time, not assume it.
In a world of security theatre and unchecked configurations, this certification is your proof of real capability.
