Who is a Solid Elf?

We think like attackers and act as defenders.

A Solid Elf is a member of the Solid Elf Community, a network that extends the work of the core Solid Elf team through shared learning, practical cybersecurity, research and collaboration. We break into systems, expose weaknesses, trace threats and strengthen the networks, applications and data systems people rely on.

We also improve how data is collected, handled, stored and protected so it remains private, accurate and trustworthy. We are curious, disciplined and constantly learning. Together, we learn, break, defend and build a safer digital world.

Cybersecurity in practice
