They infiltrated a Colombian bank to compromise its IT systems, needed less than 30 seconds to hack a Tesla, and have won prestigious competitions: Synacktiv’s Red Teamers challenge the security of organisations to help them better protect themselves from cybercriminals.

We’re giving the floor to two of them to talk about their work through their most recent offensive mission in a production unit.

Cyber Thursdays

On the first Thursday of every month, the CyberSchool Consortium hosts Cyber Thursdays, a series of round-table discussions at the heart of the Beaulieu campus in Rennes. Experts share their experiences and unpack the challenges and realities of information systems security. The aim is to offer students a hands-on immersion into the world of cybersecurity, enriching their academic journey. Selected partner organisations are also invited to attend these round tables (by invitation).
