For Teams

Train Your Team to
Use AI for Real Cyber Work

Your team learns to use AI inside real security workflows — recon, triage, reporting — and keeps the judgment to verify what it produces.

After the training, your team runs AI-augmented workflows against your own environment — with verification built into every step.

Ad-Hoc AI Use vs. After This Training

Before

AI used ad hoc — copy-paste prompts, unverified output, unclear rules

After

AI in structured security workflows — verified, reviewed, repeatable

Prompts pasted into whatever chat window is closest

Named workflows the whole team runs the same way

AI output copied straight into tickets and reports

Every finding reproduced and validated before it's written down

No shared rules on what data goes into the model

Clear boundaries: what AI may touch, what stays offline

One enthusiast guessing alone

A team that reviews each other's AI-assisted work

Tools and scripts that die with the person who wrote them

Reusable pipelines the team keeps after the workshop

Who It's For

Who Is This Training For?

Security Teams

Pentest, red team and SOC crews who want AI to multiply their tradecraft — without giving up verification.

IT & Infrastructure Teams

System and network administrators who want to find and fix security problems in the systems they run — with AI doing the heavy lifting.

Security Leads

Responsibility for the risk, budget for training: give your people workflows that make AI an asset instead of a shadow-IT liability.

How It Works: Live Workshop Format

This isn't a video library. It's an interactive workshop where your team learns by doing, with real-time guidance and feedback on your own environment.

1
Live Workflow Demo

Watch a real AI-augmented engagement workflow run end to end — recon, triage, reporting — and where the human calls happen.

2
Theory & Context

Why these workflows work, what they miss, and how to think about AI output as hypotheses to verify — not answers to trust.

3
Hands-On Practice

Your team runs the same workflows in safe, resetting lab environments — building operator habits, not just watching.

4
Q&A & Your Environment

Questions about your specific stack answered directly, with tailored advice on bringing AI into your operations.

Why Workshop Format Works Better

Real-time learning: Immediate answers to your team's questions

Company-specific: Discuss your actual infrastructure and challenges

Interactive practice: Learn by doing, not just watching videos

Expert feedback: Personalized guidance on your team's approach

Sample Agenda

A Sample Agenda

Every workshop is tailored to your environment, but the skeleton holds. Here's how a typical session flows.

  • Opening demo — a real AI-augmented workflow, end to end (45 min)
  • Theory in context — what AI is good at, where it fabricates (45 min)
  • Guided labs — your team runs the workflow on resetting targets (90 min)
  • Verification round — validate what the labs produced, cut the noise (45 min)
  • Debrief — what to apply first on Monday (15 min)

  • Opening demo & theory — real workflow, decision points, failure modes (2 h)
  • Morning labs — recon and triage workflows on your own targets (2 h)
  • Afternoon labs — automation and reporting you build and keep (2 h)
  • Verification workshop — findings triage that holds up to review (1 h)
  • Your environment — Q&A on your stack, tailored advice, next steps (1 h)

Timings flex with your team's pace and the format you choose — multi-week formats spread the same arc across weeks.

What Your Team Walks Away With

AI-Augmented Recon Workflows

Map an attack surface with LLM-driven OSINT and automated enumeration — and know which leads are worth pursuing.

Findings Triage That Holds Up

Separate signal from AI noise: validate, reproduce, and prioritize findings before they reach a report or a ticket.

Automation You Keep

Nuclei templates, custom scripts, and AI pipelines built during the workshop — yours to run after it ends.

AI-Assisted Detection & Response

Cut alert fatigue with AI that prioritizes and drafts investigations — with your analysts making the calls.

Defending Against AI-Assisted Attacks

Understand how attackers actually use AI — phishing, recon, automated exploitation — and build defenses that hold up.

Reporting You Can Sign

AI drafts the write-up, your team verifies and owns it — clear findings, real remediation, no hallucinated CVEs.

Fast-Start Module: Wins in the First Week

"Top 5 Vulnerabilities You Can Check in Your Network Today"

A concrete starting point your team can run immediately — what to look for, how to check it with AI in the loop, and how to fix what you find.

What took 10 years and hundreds of penetration tests to learn, distilled into a checklist your team can act on — with the context to understand every line.

Included With Every Workshop

CISA Top 10 Attack Vectors Guide

A practical overview of the most critical vulnerabilities, mapped to the checks your team learned to run.

Community Access

Ongoing discussion with operators adding AI to their security work — questions answered after the workshop ends.

Resetting Lab Environments

Practice as much as needed with labs that reset on demand. No setup, no maintenance.

Recorded Workshops & Updates

Access to session recordings and future material updates as techniques and tools evolve.

Proof: This Method Works

Real Results, Not Promises

In every training delivered, at least one participant found a real vulnerability in their production environment on the first day.

This isn't theory. Participants apply the workflows to their own systems and find issues that matter — then fix them.

Expected outcome: Your team identifies real vulnerabilities in your own environment during the training.

Real Experience

10+ years of professional penetration testing — finding the exact vulnerabilities we teach you to prevent.

Conference Proven

Training and challenge design at major cybersecurity conferences: Hackfest, GoSec, and NorthSec.

Enterprise Trusted

Companies — including Fortune 500 teams — trust us to train their people on real-world security work.

Simon Nolet, Founder of Hacktive Education

Simon Nolet

Founder & Lead Instructor

Every workflow in this training comes from Simon's 10+ years of hands-on penetration testing — the same vulnerabilities, the same decision points, now taught with AI in the loop.

What Participants Say

"I took part in the 'Put Yourself in a Pentester's Shoes!' workshop led by Simon at GoSEC 2024. It was genuinely engaging because it spoke to everyone in cybersecurity, no matter their knowledge or experience with pentesting."

— Mathieu Dulude

"I had the chance to attend Simon Nolet's workshop at GoSEC 2024. I have to admit the exercises were truly fun — even a little addictive. Once you start solving the challenges, you just want to keep going."

— Nestor Esperanza

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The workshop adapts to your team. For IT professionals who manage servers or networks, no security background is required — we teach the security mindset alongside the AI workflows. For experienced security teams, we go deeper into tradecraft.

No. We teach AI from zero, in plain language, focused on what your team will actually use in security operations. If they can manage servers or networks, they have the foundation — we show them how to put AI to work on top of it.

Half-day, full-day, and multi-week formats, remote or on-site. Book a consultation and we'll shape a curriculum around your environment and goals.

Yes. Labs can be tailored to your infrastructure, and the Q&A blocks focus on your stack. Many teams leave with findings and checklists they apply the same week.
