Hack Smarter: The Community Arm of Kairos Sec
At Kairos Sec, we believe elite security services and community-driven growth go hand in hand. That’s why we founded Hack Smarter—the mentorship and education initiative that serves as the community arm of our penetration testing firm.
Hack Smarter exists to make cybersecurity careers more accessible, accountable, and human. Whether you’re aiming for your first role or leveling up into more advanced offensive security work, Hack Smarter gives you the structure and support you need—without the gatekeeping.
Key features of the Hack Smarter community include:
- Weekly Goal Meetings
Stay focused and consistent with structured weekly calls designed to help you define, track, and achieve your professional goals—together. - Study Groups for All Major Certifications
Join active, peer-led study groups for certifications like OSCP, PNPT, Security+, CISSP, and more. Learn in community, not isolation. - Resume Review
Get direct, expert feedback on your cybersecurity resume, tailored to break into or advance within the offensive security space. - Donate-What-You-Can Career Coaching
We believe mentorship shouldn’t be locked behind a paywall. Our coaching is donation-based—accessible to anyone, no matter where you’re starting from.
Hack Smarter is a grassroots movement built on shared knowledge, mutual accountability, and a deep respect for the craft of penetration testing. It represents the heart of Kairos Sec’s mission: to elevate not just security, but the people behind it.
