About
itsec.rocks is a cooperative venture between graduates of Bonn University of Applied Science, the Fraunhofer FKIE Institute and the Fraunhofer Academy. This makes our team an interesting mixture of industry experts, post-doc researchers, professors and hackers.
Since we all have different research interests, we gathered a wide variety of knowledge in applied iformation security. This is reflected in our course program.
Courses
Our courses are always hands on! Theoretical concepts will always be applied in realistic settings, within the course.
A course takes 8 hours per day plus two coffee and one lunch break, usually starting at 9 a.m.. You don’t have to bring anything. A laptop as well as course materials, a blog and pen will be provided by us.
Our courses focus on teaching:
- Understanding risks and common vulnerabilities
- Employing state of the art defenses and counter measures
- Managing to include security in every phase of implementation
- Getting a feeling for the attacker’s perspective
- Learning current security best practices
- Beeing up-to-date with current security research
We achive this with our motivated trainers and a self-developed training platform.
Goals
While working in industry projects, we learned how rare security expertise is within the IT sphere.
Very often, security doesn’t play a role in software developement or infrastructure projects. This is a problem, since more and more parts of our lives happen in interaction with technology.
Our goal therefore is to spread knowledge on IT security to everyone.
Our website’s theme is based on Cupper.
