Cyber Fire Foundry 2025

Cyber Fire Foundry | Friday, October 27-31, 2025 | 50 Park Plaza Boston, Massachusetts

Build What Comes Next in Cybersecurity

The Cyber Fire Foundry returns this October to help cybersecurity professionals evolve from tool users to tool builders. This event empowers participants to solve novel problems through custom code, investigative workflows, and collaborative challenges grounded in real-world cyber incidents.

Whether you’re reverse engineering malware, analyzing packet captures, or developing new ways to trace threats, Foundry gives you the space and support to build skills that last.

Format and Experience:

Hands-On Classes

October 27–29

Foundry opens with three days of hands-on instruction. Each participant joins one class and works closely with instructors experienced in Department of Energy cybersecurity response.

Courses emphasize doing, not watching—expect labs, practical walkthroughs, and tool-building exercises that reflect real-world analysis workflows.

Team-Based Challenge Exercise

October 30–31
After class ends, you’ll join a cross-functional team to tackle dozens of forensic and analysis challenges in a collaborative scenario. Each challenge reinforces skills from the first half of the week while exposing you to additional domains and tools.

You’ll have expert support available throughout the exercise, so whether you're leading the way or just learning, you’ll leave with new skills and confidence.
