Positive Hack Talks is a free, community-driven cybersecurity meetup for people who break, build, defend, and investigate.

It’s red teamers talking initial access and persistence, blue teamers showing detections that actually work, SOC analysts walking through live IR cases, DFIR folks breaking down malware, vuln researchers dropping bugs and tooling, and bug bounty hunters showing what slips past prod.
