What is the 7 Minute Security club?

Some quick background: 7 Minute Security is a security consultancy in Minnesota. We focus on ethical hacking exercises (a.k.a. pentesting), risk assessments and training. We also have a podcast.

I created this Substack to share a bit more behind-the-scenes insight into the projects we work on, cool things we’re learning about hacking/defending networks, and the challenges we face while running a cybersecurity SMB. The goal is to share our experiences and have a bit more personal interaction with interested readers/viewers/listeners.

Will you spam me to death?

Well if you were part of our old newsletter you know updates only trickled out once a month, so NO! :-).

Right now we do a weekly Tuesday TOOLSday livestream (where we showcase something pentest/tools-related for ~20 minutes), so you’re looking at 1-2 emails from us a week.

What are your future plans for club?

As of October, 2025 we now offer optional monthly/yearly subscriptions where subscribers get some extra bonus content:

So if you enjoy the Weekly Tuesday TOOLSday streams, our podcast, our third Thursday YouTube livestreams, and/or our constantly updated pentest tip notebook called BPATTY, please consider subscribing!
