Track 011
Network protection
Firewalls, segmentation and monitoring: the layers that keep an organisation's traffic out of reach, and how attackers try to slip past each one.
Eight topics.Three tracks.
From how your data leaks to how a breach gets contained, here is what we explore together, from the fundamentals to the front line.
§ 01
What we explore.
Hover a topic to open it. Each one is something we cover through events, sessions and shared notes.
- 01
Network Security
+How traffic moves, where it leaks, and how to lock down the paths between systems.
- 02
Ethical Hacking
+Thinking like an attacker, with permission, so you can find the holes before they do.
- 03
Cyber Crime
+How real-world attacks and scams work, who runs them, and how people get caught out.
- 04
Malware & Viruses
+How malicious code spreads, what it does once inside, and how it's stopped.
- 05
Data Privacy
+What your devices and accounts give away, and how to keep your footprint yours.
- 06
Incident Response
+What to do in the first hour after something goes wrong, and every hour after.
- 07
Threat Intelligence
+Reading the signals: who is attacking, how, and what that means for you.
- 08
Cryptocurrency Security
+Wallets, keys and the scams that target them, and how to keep assets safe.
§ 02Deep tracks
No matter where you go, be security smart.
Three areas we go deeper on, because they're where most real-world defence happens.
Track 022
Server protection
Keeping critical systems available and trustworthy with intrusion detection, encryption, patching and tight access control.
Track 033
Vulnerability assessment
Methodically examining infrastructure and applications to find, rank and fix weaknesses before someone else finds them.
§ 03
Seven stages, two answers.
Attack · 01
Reconnaissance
Gather names, emails, subdomains and open ports.
Defend
Shrink your exposure and watch for scanning.
Attack · 02
Weaponisation
Pair an exploit with a payload built for the target.
Defend
Track threat intel on the tools in circulation.
Attack · 03
Delivery
Send it in by phishing email, malicious link or USB.
Defend
Filter mail, train people, lock down removable media.
Attack · 04
Exploitation
Trigger the vulnerability and run code.
Defend
Patch fast, harden configs, least privilege.
Attack · 05
Installation
Plant persistence so access survives a reboot.
Defend
Endpoint detection and application allow-listing.
Attack · 06
Command & control
Open a channel back to the attacker.
Defend
Egress filtering and DNS / network monitoring.
Attack · 07
Actions
Steal, encrypt or destroy what they came for.
Defend
Segment data, keep backups, rehearse response.
§ 04
What each side sees.
Every plate is drawn live in the browser: the two sides of security, shown as moving diagrams rather than stock photos.

§ 05Approach
The best way to learn defence is to understand offence. So we don't just describe attacks.
We take them apart, together, and learn how to stop them.
§ 06
Less lecture, more practice.
01 / 05LiveHands-on
Tech & hacking events
Talks, demos and hands-on sessions where you do the thing, not just hear about it.
02 / 05TalksQ&A
Learning from experts
Practitioners from our team and our partners share how security really works day to day.
03 / 05Guidance
Faculty in the room
Educators who bring structure and depth, and bridge the classroom and the real world.
04 / 05All levels
Freshers welcome
Most members started with zero experience. The community is built to get you moving.
05 / 05Community
Share what you learn
Notes, tools and hard-won lessons get passed on, not hoarded. That's the whole point.
