Upcoming Courses


Can you actually protect yourself from online thieves, government snoops and malicious software?

 What is the "Darkweb" and is there any legitimate use for such a thing?

 What is Bitcoin and why should I concern myself with it?

 How is the Internet Of Things dangerous to me?

 Can the government read my emails and messages?

 Can they break my encryption?



These are all common questions coming from the public on a more and more frequent basis and they are just a few of the questions that we answer in the GroundRod training series. The courses are designed for the layman and the professional alike and are hands on. You don't just listen to a lecture, you implement the subject matter in real time during class. We cover the spectrum from system hardening and secure communication to human tradecraft and escape & evasion skills. You leave class with a broader understanding of the threats and a real set of tools with which to protect yourself, your family and your business.

Not only are they snooping, but they applied a legal gag order to Apple and Google to prevent them from alerting you the customer of this fact. What's that you say? You are using an end-to-end encrypted messenger such as Signal and therefore are safe from said intrusion? Not so fast... While there are indeed some well designed and audited secure chat apps out there, that is only part of the story. Most, if not all, messaging applications employ Push notifications as a way to let you know that someone just reached out to you, even if you didn't happen to have the corresponding application open at the moment.
