What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most was how practical their approach was. Hysec focused on how issues could actually be exploited and explained the impact clearly, instead of overwhelming us with a long list of findings. It felt grounded in real-world experience rather than theory.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Hysec could have done differently?

Nothing major comes to mind. If anything, a slightly longer debrief session at the end could have been useful, but all questions were addressed and follow-ups were handled quickly.
