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.

Whether it is phishing awareness for your entire staff, secure coding for your developers or a hands-on hacking workshop for your security team: we tailor every training to your audience, sector and skill level. That keeps the material relevant and participants engaged — from the boardroom to the shop floor.

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.
