Hack The Summer
from Tuesday 25TH until Friday 29TH August
Hack The Summer brings you four days of hands-on cybersecurity workshops at Exclusive Networks, packed with practical learning, real-world attack scenarios and sharp security insights.
From AI-powered SOC agents and OT defense to Palo Alto Cyber Hell and Backdoors & Breaches, each session is designed to challenge your skills, boost your knowledge and connect you with fellow cyber professionals. Expect deep dives, live exercises, lunch, closing drinks and music afterwards, because even defenders deserve a proper summer cooldown.
AI For Cybersecurity
Tuesday 25 August
Generative AI is transforming security operations.
This hands-on workshop explains how AI models, agents, and MCP work in cybersecurity, with demos using frontier and local LLMs to analyze data, automate investigations, and support SOC teams.
Ideal for security engineers, SOC analysts, architects, and incident responders.
From Blackout to Lockout
Wednesday 26 August
From Blackout to Lockout is a hands-on Red & Blue Team (I)OT workshop simulating a real-world cyberattack on an OT environment.
Participants first execute lateral movement across IT/OT systems, then switch to defense: analyzing the attack and applying Nozomi Networks, Fortinet, and SentinelOne controls to improve visibility, detection, and protection.
Palo Alto Networks Cyber Hell
Thursday 27 August
Join this hands-on Palo Alto Networks mission to defend the digital frontier against advanced threats.
Discover how platformization unifies NGFW, CDSS, EDR, XDR, SSE, DNS, identity, deception, OT, Strata, and Cortex capabilities into one scalable security ecosystem built to simplify operations, strengthen visibility, and accelerate threat detection and response.
Backdoors, Breaches & Burgers
Friday 28 August
Backdoors, Breaches & Burgers is a hands-on cybersecurity game mixing incident response, tabletop chaos, and summer food vibes.
Through the Backdoors & Breaches card game, participants investigate phishing, ransomware, insider threats, and more while collaborating under pressure. No slides, no sales pitch—just burgers, drinks, cyber strategy, and breach-fighting fun.
