Training that changes how your team behaves.
Most awareness training is forgotten by the next sprint. We run role-based programs where developers, security teams, and staff learn by doing, on our own live labs against real vulnerable environments. The result is measurable: fewer risky clicks, cleaner code, and defenders who have met the techniques before production does.
- Role-based learning tracks
- Hands-on lab access
- Secure-coding modules for developers
- Phishing simulation campaigns
- Red/blue team exercises
Real labs, not slideware. Turn your people into your strongest control.
Security Training & Awareness Programs is HACK KAP's structured upskilling service for organisations that want to reduce human risk and level up their technical teams. It combines secure-coding training for developers, offensive and defensive upskilling for security staff, and phishing simulation and awareness for everyone else, delivered as role-based tracks rather than one generic course for the whole company.
The difference is the delivery. Instead of watch-and-click slideware, learners work on hands-on labs hosted on our own platform (app.hackkap.com), the same environment behind our public CTF competitions. Developers exploit and then fix real vulnerable code; blue teams triage real alerts; red teams run techniques in a safe range. Training is built and taught by practitioners who do offensive security, reverse engineering, and secure development for a living, so the material reflects how attacks actually work today.
Every engagement is scoped to your stack, threat model, and maturity, and closed out with clear reporting a CTO or CISO can take to leadership: who was trained, what improved, where the residual risk sits, and what to reinforce next.
What we test and deliver
Depth over checklists. Every capability below is hands-on work performed and validated by our engineers.
Secure-coding training
Practical secure development aligned to the OWASP Top 10 and ASVS (injection, access control, auth, secrets handling, and safe use of dependencies) taught as exploit-then-fix labs, not checklists.
Red team upskilling
Offensive technique training for security staff mapped to MITRE ATT&CK (recon, initial access, privilege escalation, and lateral movement) run in a controlled lab range.
Blue team enablement
Detection, triage, and incident-response drills so defenders practise spotting and containing real attack behaviour before it matters in production.
Phishing & social-engineering simulation
Design and delivery of controlled phishing, pretexting, and payload-lure campaigns to measure and reduce susceptibility across the whole workforce.
Live hands-on labs
Real-environment exercises delivered on our own platform (app.hackkap.com), the same infrastructure behind our public CTF events, no toy sandboxes or video-only content.
Custom curriculum design
Program design tuned to your tech stack, threat model, and team maturity, delivered as instructor-led sessions, self-paced tracks, or a blend of both.
Who it's for
- CTOs and engineering leaders who want developers writing secure code by default, not patching the same bug classes every quarter
- CISOs and security managers building internal red/blue team capability without long, expensive external dependence
- Founders and operations leads at growing companies who need to cut phishing and social-engineering risk across all staff
- Teams preparing for audits or customer security reviews that expect a documented, role-based training program
- Organisations that have tried generic e-learning and seen no measurable change in behaviour
Why HACK KAP
- Built and taught by practitioners who do offensive security, reverse engineering, and secure development day to day, not career trainers reading from slides.
- Learning happens on our own labs platform against real vulnerable environments, the same infrastructure that runs our public CTF competitions.
- Exercises are manual and exploit-driven: developers break and then fix real code, and defenders handle realistic attacks rather than watching them.
- Methodology aligns with recognised industry references (OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, PTES, and NIST) so training maps cleanly to how your other security work is framed.
- Follow-up phishing re-simulation and re-assessment are built into the program, so behaviour change is verified, not just hoped for.
Exactly what you receive
No vague promises. Each engagement produces concrete, shareable artifacts your team, auditors, and customers can rely on.
Role-based learning tracks
A tailored curriculum split by role (developer, security engineer, red/blue team, and all-staff awareness) so each group trains on what is actually relevant to their work instead of a single generic course.
Hands-on lab access
Accounts on our live labs platform (app.hackkap.com) with curated exercises against real vulnerable environments, so learning is practical and repeatable rather than theoretical.
Secure-coding modules for developers
Language- and framework-relevant exercises where developers exploit real vulnerabilities, then remediate them and verify the fix, covering the bug classes that show up most in your codebase.
Phishing simulation campaigns
Realistic, controlled phishing and social-engineering campaigns with per-department results, click and report rates, and a manager-facing dashboard to track behaviour over time.
Red/blue team exercises
Guided offensive and defensive drills: attack scenarios, detection and triage, and optional purple-team sessions where both sides work through the same intrusion together.
Program report and metrics
A close-out report covering participation, skills assessment results, simulation outcomes, residual human-risk areas, and prioritised recommendations for the next cycle, written for both technical leads and leadership.
Our engagement methodology
A transparent, repeatable process. You always know what's happening, what's next, and where you stand.
- 01
Discovery & risk baseline
We start with a scoping session to understand your team structure, tech stack, threat model, and current security maturity. This defines who needs training, on what, and how success will be measured.
- 02
Program design
We map role-based tracks and build or adapt the curriculum to your environment, then agree delivery mode (instructor-led, self-paced labs, or blended) and a schedule that fits around your team's workload.
- 03
Lab & content provisioning
We provision accounts and exercises on app.hackkap.com, stand up any scenario-specific environments, and prepare phishing simulation campaigns for launch, all in a safe, isolated range.
- 04
Delivery
Training runs as hands-on sessions where people work through real exploitation, remediation, detection, or response tasks. Phishing simulations are launched in parallel, timed to avoid disrupting critical operations.
- 05
Assessment & measurement
We assess skills through practical lab challenges and capture simulation metrics (completion, click and report rates, and capability gains) so improvement is evidenced, not assumed.
- 06
Debrief & reinforcement
We deliver the program report, walk leadership and team leads through findings and residual risk, and agree a reinforcement cadence: refresh modules, follow-up simulations, and re-assessment to confirm the change held.
Questions, answered
The things teams most often ask before an engagement. Don't see yours? Just reach out.
Scope is set in the discovery session based on team size, the roles you want to train, the depth of each track, and delivery mode. Pricing follows that scope rather than a fixed per-seat rate, so you are not paying for generic content your team does not need. You will get a written proposal with the tracks, format, and schedule before anything starts.
