Why I built this

I spent years competing in CTFs, coaching national teams, and working as a threat intel analyst at one of Switzerland's biggest banks.

In 2024 I coached Switzerland's first cybersecurity team at WorldSkills. They won gold against 35+ countries. That experience showed me something:

The training that produces champions isn't available to most people.

Existing platforms are either locked behind enterprise contracts, too theoretical, or completely disconnected from what Swiss employers actually want. So I built Endolum: practical training based on real attack scenarios, available to anyone serious about learning.

Whether you're an IT apprentice looking to specialize, switching careers, or already in the field and want to level up, this is built for you.
