Offensive Defense

Ivan Bütler says, „You have to practice to really be able to do it.“ He and his business partner Philipp Sieber structure their lessons according to this principle. In the Hacking-Lab, the online platform for ethical hacking, students learn how to detect and prevent attacks.

Human Weakness

Ivano Somaini has been working in social engineering for many years. He shows how social aspects can be exploited with ingenious attacks and how the human factor increasingly comes into the focus of attackers. "As a rule, people are good-natured. A social engineer exploits their helpfulness, fear and curiosity."

 

In these two teaching blocks, the participants immerse themselves in the methods, tools and tricks of attackers. In addition to theory, Compass Security imparts practical know-how and an understanding of current attacks and defense strategies.
