“True cybersecurity is preparing for what’s next, not what was last” – Neil Rerup
Cybersecurity is a rising concern for our customer and our security community is growing accordingly. The best way to improve our security offering is to allow direct contact between our customers and the people who create them – you.

On the personal development side, you get access to regular training and can earn certifications to stay up to date in the constantly evolving world of cybersecurity.
Security Community Scope
Our community brings together passionate people focusing on two main areas:
- Security Intelligence, which is about gaining insight into the security of an entire organization’s IT environment in order to find ways to improve its resiliency.
- Security Awareness, which is about empowering employees with the knowledge and skills they need to keep their companies safe from cyber attacks.
Regardless of their level of experience and expertise, every member of the community has the chance to discuss, share knowledge, and offer tips and tricks to help others. Senior members of the community additionally have the chance to build, consolidate and lead training and mentoring programs.
What does our community look like in real life?
Who can explain it better than our members themselves?
“I created the first Security Talks last year to both share knowledge with my cybersecurity peers and spread the basics of my expertise with my non-technical colleagues. I conducted a workshop for the French teams on penetration testing and ethical hacking to introduce my activities as a penetration tester, the different types of attacks, tools that we use at our clients, as well as good practices to keep away from real black hat hackers. I also had the pleasure to introduce my fellow pentesters to the Bash Bunny, the world’s most advanced USB attack platform and explained how to use it. It was an incredibly rich and rewarding experience on both sides. I am passionate about my job, I love being able to share and learn and the Positive Thinking Company allows me to do just that.” -Kevin, Brussels.
“My role doesn’t stop at being a consultant: I have integrated the Security Community soon after my arrival at the Positive Thinking Company to help build solutions. My domain of expertise lies originally in governance risk compliance but I was keen on extending it to security awareness. Together with the Domain Leaders and consultants of other countries, we created a security game from scratch. To create a more impactful experience we decided to bring in virtual reality. I was then involved with experts in XR/VR to design and optimize the game scenario. The other interesting part was to work on the physical escape game. We imagined all the building blocks of it: storytelling, storyboard, challenges, gameflow, objects, level variations, etc. After creating it, we tested it and worked on supporting documents to introduce our innovative approach to customers, which they ended up loving. The making of the solution would have never been possible without the collaboration of the community. We are continuously working on improving it, bringing in modules and features based on the feedback of our client, making it a fun, co-constructed solution that solves real organization problems. ” – Samuel, Geneva.
