WebAsha Technologies offers a highly rated Diploma in Cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking, blending theoretical foundations with hands-on skills to prepare students for real-world challenges. The course spans one year and includes prep for top global certifications such as CEH, OSCP, CISSP, and more.

Whether you’re a beginner or an IT professional looking to upgrade, this program opens doors to lucrative cybersecurity careers.
Quick answer: WebAsha Technologies' Diploma in Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking is a one-year programme in Pune, taught in classrooms and online. It covers networking, operating system security, ethical hacking, penetration testing, incident response, forensics, cloud security and risk, and prepares you for CEH v13, OSCP, CISSP, RHCSA and AWS Security exams. Exam fees and eligibility for each certification should be confirmed separately.
Key takeaways
- The diploma is a one-year, hands-on programme from WebAsha, a training institute. It is not a university degree.
- It "prepares you for" several certifications. That is not the same as including every exam fee or guaranteeing a pass. Ask which exams are covered.
- The current ethical hacking certification is CEH v13. Older versions (v9 to v12) are retired.
- Some certifications have experience requirements. CISSP, for example, needs several years of paid work in security.
- Judge any course by its labs, trainers, syllabus and what happens after, and ask to see all four before you pay.
What is the Diploma in Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking?
It is a one-year professional training programme from WebAsha Technologies, an IT training institute in Pune teaching the Red Hat, EC-Council, OffSec and others. It combines theory, lab practice and project work, and is offered in classrooms and online. WebAsha's course page for the programme is Cyber Security.
A word on the word "diploma": this is a training diploma from an institute. If you need a degree-equivalent qualification for government jobs or higher studies, check recognition requirements with the employer or institution before you enrol.
Who is it for?
According to WebAsha, anyone with basic computer or IT knowledge can join: students, working professionals and career switchers. Coding knowledge is not mandatory, though it helps in later modules. If you are a school leaver deciding between options, our article on the diploma in cyber security after 10th compares routes.
What does the curriculum cover?
| Module | What you learn |
|---|---|
| Introduction to cybersecurity | Threat types, attacker methods and why defences exist |
| Networking fundamentals | Protocols, architectures and network security |
| Operating system security | Securing Windows and Linux systems |
| Ethical hacking techniques | Methods to find vulnerabilities legally |
| Penetration testing | Assessing systems and networks, and writing findings |
| Incident response and forensics | Responding to breaches and investigating them |
| Cloud security | Security problems and controls in cloud environments |
| Compliance and risk management | Legal and regulatory requirements, and risk assessment |
Ask WebAsha for the detailed syllabus, the number of lab hours and the tools used in each module. A one-line module title tells you little.
Which certifications does it prepare you for?
The programme is described as preparing students for the following. Each is run by a different body, with its own rules and fees.
| Certification | Issued by | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) | EC-Council | The current version is CEH v13. CEH Practical is a separate hands-on exam. See EC-Council's CEH page. |
| OSCP | OffSec | Hands-on exam after the PEN-200 course. Passing awards OSCP and OSCP+. See OffSec PEN-200. |
| CISSP | ISC2 | Needs several years of paid security experience for full certification. See ISC2 certifications. |
| RHCSA | Red Hat | Exam EX200, now on RHEL 10. A Linux administration base for security work. |
| AWS Security | AWS | AWS Certified Security Specialty. Check the AWS exam guide for prerequisites. |
Look for training in Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) version 13. CEH v10, v11 and v12 are retired, so make sure any plan or fee quoted to you is for v13.
Related courses at WebAsha include Certified Ethical Hacking CEH v13 AI, OSCP | PEN-200 and CISSP, which you can also take on their own.
What careers does it lead to?
The programme names these roles as targets. Whether you reach them depends on your skills, your projects and the job market, not on the diploma alone.
- Ethical hacker or penetration tester: tests systems for weaknesses and reports them.
- Security analyst or SOC analyst: watches alerts and investigates incidents.
- Incident responder: contains and investigates breaches.
- Security consultant: advises on policy, controls and risk.
- Network security engineer: designs and maintains secure networks.
WebAsha says it offers career guidance and placement support to diploma holders. Ask what that means in practice: how many interview preparation sessions, which companies, and what past learners went on to do.
