Why this program matters

  • Without OSSEC mastery, your infrastructures remain vulnerable to undetected intrusions, with 82% des breaches liées à un monitoring défaillant (rapport Verizon DBIR).

  • A single attack costs an average of 4,2 millions d'euros to a French company, including data losses, GDPR fines and business interruption (IBM 2023).

  • IT administrators and managers lose 25 heures par semaine on useless alerts and late responses, exposing the company to bankruptcy or disastrous audits.

  • Every day without expertise in protection, analysis and supervision aggravates the cumulative risks, directly threatening your career and business survival.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your OSSEC training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
