What sekurak does

Sekurak monetizes through four distinct revenue streams: (1) paid training courses via Sekurak.Academy, which has trained 15,000 participants over three years, including the Akademia NIS2/KSC2 compliance program and Websecurity Master; (2) penetration testing and security audits via Securitum; (3) cybersecurity books published through Wydawnictwo Securitum, including 'Wprowadzenie do bezpieczeństwa IT Tom 2' and 'Twierdza Linux'; and (4) the annual Mega Sekurak Hacking Party conference scheduled for October 26-27, 2026. The target customer base is horizontal — primarily Polish IT professionals, security practitioners, and organizations needing to comply with the NIS2 directive and Polish KSC2 cybersecurity law (effective April 2026), which brings an estimated 40,000 entities into scope. The company employs approximately 9 people, operates with no disclosed institutional funding, and distributes free content via sekurak.pl while paid products flow through the Securitum/Sekurak e-commerce ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Niebezpiecznik: The leading Polish-language cybersecurity news and awareness portal, very similar in audience and content cadence to Sekurak.pl. Also offers paid training, phishing simulations, and consulting, putting it in direct competition for the same Polish practitioner and SMB audience.
• TryHackMe: Global hands-on cybersecurity learning platform with beginner-to-advanced labs. Competes directly with Sekurak.Academy for entry-level and intermediate practitioners seeking practical offensive and defensive skills training, though it operates in English at much larger scale.
• Offsec (Offensive Security): Provider of the OSCP and other offensive-security certifications, plus the Learn Fundamentals platform. Competes with Sekurak for serious offensive-security practitioners, though Sekurak's content and Polish-language focus serve a different primary geography.
• INE Security: Hands-on cybersecurity and networking training platform with labs, learning paths, and certifications. Direct comparator to Sekurak.Academy on practical, lab-driven offensive and defensive training, though INE operates globally.
• Cybrary: Online cybersecurity and IT skills training platform with free and paid tiers. Competes with Sekurak.Academy on accessible video-based cybersecurity education for working professionals.
• KnowBe4: Market-leading security awareness and phishing simulation platform. Overlaps with Sekurak's NIS2/KSC2 compliance training and general practitioner awareness content on the enterprise training side.
• Hack The Box: Large gamified cybersecurity upskilling platform offering labs, academies, and certifications. Overlaps with Sekurak.Academy and Websecurity Master on offensive-security practitioner training, with a stronger enterprise/professional tier.
• CQURE Academy: Polish-rooted cybersecurity training provider offering practitioner-led courses on offensive security, system hardening, and incident response. Competes with Sekurak.Academy for the same pool of Polish IT professionals and security engineers.

Broad incumbents

• SANS Institute: Global incumbent in deep technical cybersecurity training, certifications (GSEC, GIAC), and research. A much larger but thematically similar organization to Sekurak.Academy, serving an overlapping advanced practitioner audience at higher price points.
• Pluralsight: Broad technology and cybersecurity skills platform used by enterprises for workforce upskilling. Overlaps with Sekurak.Academy on professional IT security training but spans a much wider tech curriculum.
