Training

Security awareness and hands-on hacking

From security awareness sessions to hands-on hacking workshops. We offer training for all levels, from board to technical team. Learn to think like an attacker.

What is a security training?

Zolder delivers security training and workshops for all levels. From awareness for the entire company to hands-on hacking workshops for technical teams. The difference: our training is delivered by the pentesters and researchers who find vulnerabilities daily. No slides with stock photos, but live demos, examples from our work and interactive exercises.

Training offerings

  • Security awareness - for all employees: recognising phishing, safe handling of passwords and data. With examples from recent attacks on Dutch organisations.
  • Technical security training - for developers and IT teams: secure coding, OWASP Top 10, security in CI/CD.
  • Hacking workshops - hands-on: participants exploit vulnerabilities themselves in a lab. SQL injection, XSS, privilege escalation, AD attacks. Learning by doing.
  • Management briefings - cyber risk in context: current threats, how to prioritise, board responsibility.

Why a security training with Zolder?

There are many training providers. We offer something different:

  • Practitioners, not trainers: our trainers break into organisations daily. They share experience from practice.
  • Current: we adapt training to current threats and your industry. Anonymised examples from our own work make it concrete.
  • Interactive: live demos, quizzes, hands-on labs. Participants take part.
  • Custom: from a 1-hour awareness session to multi-day hacking workshop. Adapted to your organisation and knowledge level.

Our approach

  1. Intake - discussing objectives, target audience, knowledge level. What should participants do differently after the training? Directly with the trainer.
  2. Customisation - adapting content to your industry, threats and tech stack.
  3. Delivery - on-site or remote. Including lab environment for hands-on sessions.
  4. Materials - summary and (for technical training) lab access for self-study.
  5. Follow-up - optional: follow-up session after several months to embed the learning.

Frequently asked questions

Can you deliver the training at our office?

Yes, we prefer to come to you. On-site is more effective due to direct interaction. Remote via video is also possible. We travel from Zevenbergen throughout the Netherlands.

How many participants is the training suitable for?

Awareness: up to 100 people. Technical training and hacking workshops: 10-20 participants, so everyone can practice hands-on. We deliberately keep it small for maximum impact.

Can you tailor the training to our industry?

We always do. Financial, healthcare, government, tech - each industry has specific threats. We use examples relevant to your employees.
