Hands-on training

Practical workshops where people learn by doing, in labs that reflect the systems they actually run.

Security skills are built by practice. Our workshops are lab-driven: short explanations, then the participants work through realistic problems in an isolated environment, with an instructor next to them. Content is tailored to the tools, platforms and threats of your organisation instead of a generic syllabus.

Training combines naturally with exercises: a workshop prepares a team for a drill, and the after-action report shows which skills to train next.

Who it is for

Defenders and the engineers they work with

Group size, level and prior knowledge are agreed in scoping, so nobody sits through material that is too easy or too hard.

  • SOC analysts and respondersTriage, log analysis, investigation and incident handling.
  • System, cloud and network engineersHardening, logging and recovery from the operator point of view.
  • DevelopersCommon web and application weaknesses, found and fixed in a lab.
  • Facilitators and exercise leadsHow to plan and run tabletop exercises inside your own organisation.
