When companies sponsor conferences, they get to advertise to a certain number of people for a few days out of the year. OST2 has more than 59k YouTube subscribers, which is more people than attend even the largest security conferences like DEF CON or RSA. When you sponsor OST2, students will see your support all year. And when it comes to generating good will with our students - your prospective future employees - nothing beats providing support to the instructors who provide them with free high-quality education.
3mdeb shares OST2's mission of delivering cybersecurity training to individuals and organizations. With expertise in firmware security, hardware enablement, and open-source solutions, we empower you to utilize advanced security features in modern hardware and firmware.Â
