Become a tool builder.
Cyber Fire Foundry guides you through creating custom solutions for investigating cybersecurity incidents.
Rather than teach recipes for yesterday’s problems, our veteran staff helps you develop the ability to create innovative solutions to pick apart whatever arrives after you leave our event.
A week of intensive learning
Cyber Fire Foundry events feature intensive classes on a single topic, followed by a collaborative exercise to flex your new skills.
Classes
Expert-assisted hands-on instruction in the core skill areas DOE uses for incident response.
Participants learn by doing in these heavily lab-based classes. Expect to spend far more time on your computer than listening to lectures.
Collaborative Exercise
Crafted to foster teamwork and hone analytical skills, the 2-day cooperative exercise portion pits teams of participants against each other in an engaging cybersecurity battle of wits.
Experts continue to provide guidance and instruction during the exercise.
Class Options
