Cybersecurity has one of the largest talent gaps of any technology sector, and CertLabz is built so you can prove the skills employers actually hire for. Every CertLabz Cybersecurity Skill Track and course certificate is blockchain-verified, digitally signed, and shareable on LinkedIn with a permanent verification URL and QR code. There is no extra cost on top of your subscription, and no audit-mode trick that hides the credential behind a paywall.
This guide walks through every CertLabz cybersecurity credential available right now, what each one covers, the CPE credits you earn toward CompTIA, ISC2, ISACA, and EC-Council renewals, and how to pick the right track for your career goal.
What You Get with Every CertLabz Cybersecurity Certificate
Every Skill Track includes 10 lab modules with 30 hands-on labs and an advanced SkillTracker™ assessment (75 questions, 90 minutes). On completion you receive a blockchain-verified credential, 11.5 to 13 CPE credits eligible for major industry renewals, and a permanent LinkedIn-shareable certificate with a QR-verifiable URL. Each individual lab module also awards its own course-level certificate after 1 to 3 hours of focused study.

Identity & Access Management (Course)
Pair with Network Security to cover both halves of modern enterprise defense before moving into a Skill Track.
Cybersecurity Analyst Skill Track
The fastest path to a SOC analyst role. 10 modules, 30 hands-on labs, advanced SkillTracker™ assessment, and 13 CPE credits.
Threat Hunting & IR Skill Track
Move from reactive triage to proactive hunting. Builds detection-engineering and IR skills senior SOC roles look for.

What Makes a CertLabz Cybersecurity Certificate Different
CertLabz certificates are designed to behave like real credentials, not completion stickers. Every certificate carries a permanent verification URL, an embedded QR code, and a blockchain-anchored hash so a hiring manager or auditor can confirm authenticity in seconds. Each Skill Track is gated by the SkillTracker™ assessment, a 75-question, 90-minute exam that mixes scenario reasoning with performance-based questions, so a CertLabz Skill Track certificate represents demonstrated skill, not just hours of video watched.
The other major difference is portability. CertLabz CPE credits feed straight into CompTIA, ISC2, ISACA, and EC-Council renewal portals, so a single Skill Track can simultaneously prove a new skill to an employer and keep an existing certification active. Every certificate is one click away from a polished LinkedIn share, complete with the issuer record, the CPE value, and the verification link.
