Operational Security (OpSec)

- Thursday, June 11, 2026

The strongest encryption in the world is useless if a developer leaks a private key on Slack or a password is taped to a monitor. OpSec is about the “human and process” side of the security equation. In this intensive one-day session, we switch perspectives. By learning to think like an attacker, you will identify the “digital breadcrumbs” your team leaves behind and learn how to sanitize your workflows to prevent social engineering and data exfiltration.

Testimonials

I liked the knowledgeable comparison of the various technologies, including when to use or not to use each. Very clear and objective. His information is based on real experience using the technologies.

Richard Shaw

I want to thank Markus for his graciousness and willingness to share his knowledge for so long. I’ll probably never throw away his Object Oriented book even though I no longer do much but maintain records in the applications I wrote. His teaching on C# and his State of .NET have been always rich and valuable. He is one of a kind.
