Infosecurity Europe, the most influential information security event, which runs from 3-5 June 2025, has announced the launch of ‘Infosecurity Europe Masterclasses, powered by SANS Institute,’ an exclusive new training initiative designed to equip cybersecurity professionals with hands-on, practical skills.
Developed for Infosecurity Europe 2025, the Masterclasses will offer three deep-dive sessions covering Digital Forensics, Cloud Security, and Security Culture.
Digital Forensics and Cloud Security
Digital Forensics and Cloud Security Masterclasses will be held on 3rd June, with the Security Masterclass
Each masterclass will be delivered by a SANS-certified instructor and will take place in the South Gallery Rooms at ExCeL London during the event.
The Digital Forensics and Cloud Security Masterclasses will be held on Tuesday, 3rd June, with the Security Culture Masterclass on Wednesday, 4th June.
Partnership with SANS Institute
Introducing these masterclasses highlights the growing demand for specialised training as organisations contend with an increasingly complex threat landscape.
Infosecurity Europe has long been a hub for industry pioneers to share knowledge, explore innovative solutions, and foster collaboration. The partnership with SANS Institute builds on this and enhances the event's educational offering.
Cybersecurity professionals with the practical skills
"Partnering with Infosecurity Europe and bringing hands-on masterclasses to this year’s event is a pivotal moment to elevate security readiness across the UK and Europe. This collaboration will support cybersecurity professionals with the practical skills they need to stay ahead of emerging threats."
"Continuous learning is essential in an industry that evolves at such a rapid pace, and by providing hands-on, immersive experiences, we are ensuring that security practitioners can apply cutting-edge techniques in real-world scenarios to make an immediate impact within their organisations," said John Davis, UK Director, SANS Institute.

The masterclasses are designed to deliver practical, actionable insights and are tailored to help cybersecurity professionals tackle modern challenges head-on.
The Digital Forensics Masterclass will be led by SANS Certified Instructor Kathryn Hedley on Tuesday, 3rd June, and will provide practical experience in decoding file signatures, data recovery techniques, and forensic disk image exploration.
Attendees will learn how to extract and interpret critical digital evidence across platforms, equipping them with the skills to handle complex forensic investigations. This session aligns closely with industry demand, as over 50 per cent of organisations plan to increase investment in incident response and forensics according to Infosecurity Europe’s 2025 Cybersecurity Trends Report.
Cloud security investment
With 65 percent of cybersecurity pioneers also planning an increase in cloud security investment, the Cloud Security Masterclass on Tuesday, 3rd June, is key to guiding participants through advanced cloud security practices.
Hosted by SANS Certified Instructor Simon Vernon, topics will include securing logging setups in Azure and preventing remote code execution.
Infosecurity Europe’s report
Infosecurity Europe’s report shows respondents citing a lack of accountability and identifying communication gaps
On day two, Wednesday 4th June, the Security Culture Masterclass will be fronted by SANS Certified Instructor John Scott and directly addresses key challenges faced by organisations.
Infosecurity Europe’s report shows respondents citing a lack of accountability and identifying communication gaps between departments as major obstacles to building a strong cybersecurity culture. This interactive session will address these challenges and more with a focus on embedding a resilient security culture within organisations.
New Infosecurity Europe Masterclasses
Participants will engage in the Cyber42 Game Day simulation, where they will navigate real-world decision-making scenarios to strengthen their leadership and cultural impact.
Brad Maule-ffinch, Event Director at Infosecurity Europe, commented: "We are thrilled to be partnering with SANS Institute on our new Infosecurity Europe Masterclasses. Delivering high-quality, relevant content that meets the evolving needs of cybersecurity professionals is a core commitment for us, and SANS Institute is the ideal partner to help achieve this."
"Their dedication to providing practical, actionable insights that attendees can immediately apply to their roles aligns perfectly with our vision for the Masterclasses, making this collaboration a perfect fit."
