Our story

It all started with a book and a passion for sharing knowledge. When our founder Jack Koziol published The Shellcoder's Handbook in 2004, it sparked something bigger than expected — a movement to make cybersecurity education accessible to everyone. What began as boot camps teaching ethical hacking evolved into something more: a mission to put people at the center of cybersecurity.

Today, we offer one of the industry's most comprehensive approaches to cybersecurity education, with role-guided training paths for every member of your workforce. From security awareness that actually engages employees to hands-on labs that build real-world skills, we've helped organizations transform their people from potential vulnerabilities into their strongest defense.

More than 70% of the Fortune 500 trust us because we get it. Cybersecurity isn't just about tools and technology. It's about empowering people with the knowledge and confidence to protect what matters most.

As part of Cengage Group, we're expanding our reach to help even more learners build the skills they need to thrive in our digital world. Because when people succeed, organizations succeed — and we all become a little safer.
