Choose Your Angle, Play Your Part
This session brings together three training experiences, each with a different flavor—but all with one goal: helping you protect what matters most:
🎭 KIOKU: Decisions Under Pressure. Scenario-Based Cybersecurity Training.
With KIOKU’s scenario-based training, you’ll be dropped into realistic, high-stakes situations drawn from the healthcare, finance, and logistics sectors. Make the call, face the consequences, and get instant feedback on your actions. Whether you're a manager, techie, or new to cybersecurity, KIOKU adapts to your level and your role—because attackers don’t discriminate, and neither should training.
Benefits for the audience: Receiving training on core cybersecurity topics such as malware, phishing, and data breach/GDPR. Through the scenario-based design of the training, participants are engaged in their learning, which has the benefit that they can better relate what they have learned to their work environment.
Tools needed: Any device that can access a browser, but preferably a bit larger (laptop or tablet). Smartphones work as well.
📡 MMT: Monitoring Made Meaningful. Advanced Network Monitoring using MMT.
Learn how to use the Montimage Monitoring Tool suite—MMT-Probe, MMT-Security, and MMT-Operator—to uncover what’s happening in your network right now. From anomaly detection to policy compliance, you’ll gain the skills to move from guessing to knowing—and from knowing to acting.
Benefits for the audience: Master advanced network traffic monitoring techniques, Learn to detect and analyze security threats using MMT-Security, Gain expertise in protocol analysis, anomaly detection, and QoS monitoring, Hands-on experience with MMT tools and real-world use cases.
Tools needed: Minimum required is a network connectivity and a browser (Chrome recommended). Option is a virtual machines (using VitualBox) that will be shared for isolated testing; Wireshark (for additional packet analysis) and a Linux-based environment (Ubuntu recommended).
🧰 Network Security Essentials: The ABCs for SMEs.
This course is built for small and medium-sized enterprises looking to secure their digital space without needing a degree in cryptography. Learn how to identify risks, spot red flags, and apply smart strategies to outsmart attackers. It’s cybersecurity, minus the mystery.
