An Offensive Approach Well-designed mitigation strategies need routine security tests. The best tests simulate the techniques and methods of an intruder. By encouraging students to use the same tools, techniques, and mindset as a hacker, we level the playing field for defenders. At Offensive Security, we teach that offense is the best defense. OffSec’s curriculum isn’t just about technical skill, although we do develop that with rigorous training. We also challenge our students to Try Harder. This means developing a growth mindset, engaging critical thinking skills, and overcoming unforeseen obstacles.
