We’ve all seen the cinematic scenes: with just a few keystrokes, the hacker sidekick cracks into top-level security systems. But what does hacking really look like? In this workshop, Thomas Spinnler, a cybersecurity specialist with decades of experience, will pull back the curtain. You'll learn how to think like a hacker, explore the cybersecurity landscape, and gain insights into protecting yourself in the digital age.

You'll get to test your skills in a simulated hacking environment so that by the end of the workshop you'll have a deeper understanding of how to secure your networks, devices, and accounts—and you might just debunk those over-the-top Hollywood hacker scenes in the process! This session is your opportunity to ask all the burning questions you've ever had about the hacker's toolkit.
