This workshop provides a comprehensive overview of the legal considerations that govern offensive cybersecurity activities, including ethical hacking, penetration testing, red teaming, and vulnerability disclosure. Participants will learn about applicable statutes (such as computer misuse and data protection laws), contractual obligations, regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, NIS2), and professional codes of conduct.

Through real-world case studies and judicial precedents, the session highlights risk management, liability mitigation, authorization requirements, and the distinction between lawful security assessments and illicit intrusion. Attendees will leave with practical guidelines to design and execute offensive security engagements while remaining within legal and ethical boundaries.
