Why This Masterclass Works

Build practical cybersecurity leadership capabilities through hands-on experience with expert mentorship.

Learn by Doing with Expert Guidance

Work through real security challenges using simulated organizations with experienced practitioners guiding every step. You'll make decisions, see consequences, and understand why certain approaches work better than others.

Compliance Through Competence

Instead of memorizing checklists, you'll understand the underlying processes that satisfy regulatory frameworks like NIS2, ISO 27001, and DORA. When you know how to do the work properly, compliance becomes a natural byproduct.

Bridge Technical and Business Worlds

Practice translating security concepts into business language and learn to communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels. You'll leave confident in presenting to both technical teams and executives.

Immediate Practical Application

Take home proven templates, frameworks, and decision-making processes you can implement immediately. Everything you practice here transfers directly to your real-world challenges.

Feedback from Previous Workshops

The Day After Production, Dec 2024: "I really liked the idea of role-playing as both an attacker and a defender, simulating real-world application problems and company workflow challenges. I will highly recommend it to everyone!"

Cybersecurity Masterclass, Feb 2025: "The course is brilliant. The speaker spoke from experience he gathered over the past years, and most of the use cases are really realistic to the point that it is quite scary to be an infosec manager. He's not only warning us many things that can go wrong, but also telling us how to make things right. Simulation, practice, even the management roleplay he did is impeccable as many upper management didn't actually know what even their company is doing."

Custom Workshop, June 2025: "I found the hands-on work with practical examples to be the most valuable part."

The Day After Production, April 2025: "The concept of explaining the theory, followed by hands on implementing that information and session for how to prevent that in the code implementation was valuable itself. Another thing is having challenges to solve in relatively short period, also allowing time to discuss them with other members I consider as valuable."

Cybersecurity Masterclass, Feb 2025: "It was all superb, the practice stimulation of all the modules and case studies was an excellent learning opportunity for me. I was a new experience for me as i have been engaged in theoritical learning so far with out any practice or practical thing that is way different from theoritical learning only."

The Day After Production, Dec 2024: "The free-flow of information, complete openness of the trainers and real-world examples. No sugar-coating"
