Foundations that don't expire
The CIA triad, cryptography, identity, networks, and defense-in-depth — the vocabulary everything else is built on.
Cyber Security Master Class
The state of cyber security in 2026 — foundations, the Mythos moment, and the Autonomous SOC, plus interactive attack-surface maps, hands-on labs, and a Trinetra capstone where you analyze code and ship a fix.
About the master class
Section titled “About the master class”A 3-hour master class built for a single session, in four parts: ~2 hours of lecture from first principles to the frontier of 2026; four interactive attack-surface maps that show exactly where real systems break; a library of short hands-on labs; and a Trinetra capstone where you point the Trinetra platform at a real repository, triage what it finds, and open a pull request with the fix.
The 2026 frontier
The Mythos moment, AI on both sides of every attack, and the rise of the Autonomous SOC — taught with current, cited sources.
Interactive attack-surface maps
Four everyday systems — e-commerce, mobile, a connected car, and a smart device — mapped point-by-point: where each breaks, the likely issues, and the defenses.
A library of hands-on labs
Spot the phish, exploit a vulnerable web app, reverse-engineer an APK, scan your own network, and triage a breach like a SOC analyst — two run right in the browser.
The Trinetra capstone
Not a demo video. You run Trinetra against real code, triage the findings, and produce a PR with fixes you can defend.
Runs from one site
Lecture, maps, labs, the in-browser deck, facilitator notes, and references all live together — nothing to install to follow along.
