“Zero Trust World is built for people who want to move beyond theory and actually understand how attacks happen and how to stop them,” said Danny Jenkins, CEO and co-founder of ThreatLocker. “This year’s speaker lineup and hands-on labs reflect the reality of today’s threat landscape and give attendees direct exposure to the techniques attackers are using right now, along with the Zero Trust controls needed to defend against them.”

One of the most popular features of Zero Trust World is its hands-on hacking labs, where expert session leaders walk attendees through real-world attack scenarios and defensive techniques. Lab topics for 2026 include a guided dark web tour; demonstrations of Active Directory hacking; prompt engineering and AI-powered malware generation; “Rubber Ducky” malicious USB attacks; Microsoft 365 security; SQL injection techniques; and “Zero Trust vs. Modern Attacks,” led by Jakoby.

In addition to the labs, the event will feature daily Cyber Hero certification exams that give qualified attendees the opportunity to certify their skills in Zero Trust implementation and ThreatLocker tool usage. Passing the exam onsite at ZTW 2026 will also earn a refund of the attendee’s registration fee, underscoring both the challenge and value of this credential.

The event also includes a live hacking competition: CTRL+ALT+PWN: Hack the PC. Win the PC. Participants will attempt to compromise a custom-built, $5,000 PC on the show floor. The first successful compromise wins the system, creating a competitive, hands-on challenge that complements the core learning environment.

“These labs and activities are intentionally immersive,” said Sami Jenkins, COO and co-founder of ThreatLocker. “They allow attendees to see firsthand how modern attacks work and, more importantly, how Zero Trust principles can be applied in real environments without disrupting the business. Zero Trust World is a prime opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the latest cybersecurity defenses alongside some of the most respected voices in the industry.”
