This is one of the most common questions we get. CyberKy has two offerings that work together—but they are not the same product.

CyberKy Academy (Career Accelerator / Cyber Warrior)
The Academy is a high-touch career program. Marketing often describes it this way:
The Platform teaches you the skills. The Academy gets you hired.
Academy includes:
-
1-on-1 mentorship and recurring private sessions
-
Direct access to the team
-
Recruiter network and warm introductions
-
Resume and interview coaching
-
Lifetime CyberKy Platform access
Academy is not a traditional bootcamp. It combines interactive courses, hands-on labs (including IAM / CyberArk PAM training), personalized mentorship, career coaching, and job placement support.
Cyber Warrior refers to legacy mentorship-style plans that include weekly 1-on-1 mentoring and career coaching. If you purchased Cyber Warrior historically, your access may still show that label in your account.
