💡 Security isn’t a collective fear - it’s a shared competence ✅

🎯 𝗗𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗞𝗦, 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗦, 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗬: 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 - Łukasz Król ✨🔥

Digital and cyber risks don’t always fit into standard risk assessment models. They use different language, involve complex causes, and depend on interlinked systems.

In this talk, Łukasz Król shares how to make digital security feel real, relatable and doable, even for non-technical audiences. He’ll show how to compare digital risks to physical, financial, and legal threats using simple analogies, how to break down the myth of omnipresent surveillance, and how to use storytelling to make threat modelling feel less abstract.

With real examples he’ll prove that empathy, clarity, and simple frameworks can turn fear into action.

Łukasz Król https://pretalx.com/bsidesluxembourg-2026/speaker/NLVVCF/ is a digital security trainer at the ICRC Global Cyber Hub in Luxembourg. He has a background in politics, technology, and international relations. He is particularly interested in digital security pedagogies, selecting secure and sustainable digital tools, and effectively supporting at-risk groups and individuals.

Roleplaying isn’t just for nerds, it’s a proven method for building real security muscle. This talk reveals how structured tabletop roleplaying games unlock deeper learning, improve team cohesion, and turn abstract security concepts into lived experience. By simulating incident response, threat modeling, and zero-trust design through narrative-driven play, teams develop adaptive thinking, shared mental models, and faster decision-making under pressure.

A Raspberry Pi isn’t just a toy. In this talk, Olivier Médoc shows how it became a stealthy, modular network implant used in real-world red team operations, turning physical access into long-term access, bypassing MFA, and quietly exfiltrating secrets, even when the victim is unaware.

🎯 𝗣𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔 𝗣𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗥: 𝗗𝗢𝗡’𝗧 𝗟𝗘𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗣 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗥𝗘𝗞𝗧 - 𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗧 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗦 ✨🔥

The “as-a-service model” has become ubiquitous across the cybercrime ecosystem. Previously dominated by tight-knit, exclusive groups, cybercrime is now a distributed international marketplace of service providers and consumers. As a result, it is more resilient than ever, with the gaps left by law enforcement takedowns quickly filled by the next opportunistic teenager.

However, to operate effectively in this anonymous distributed economy, threat actors need to build a reputation to gain trust. Does this give us an opportunity?

In this presentation, Elliot Parsons discusses the importance of trust in the cybercrime ecosystem and walks through a real-world investigation involving a prominent phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) provider. The case study illustrates that trust and OpSec do not mix, exposing threat actors to identification.
