🔐 Cybersecurity Uncovered: Think Like a Hacker, Defend Like a Pro!

Join us for an exciting deep dive into the world of cybersecurity! In today's digital age, cyber threats are constantly evolving, making it crucial to understand how attackers think and operate. Cybersecurity focuses on protecting networks, systems, and data from cyber threats, while Information Security ensures the safety of all forms of information, whether digital or physical.

  • Red, Blue, and Purple Teams 🎯 (Offensive & defensive security experts)
