Join us for a member only cyber range team sim exercise

Today’s cybersecurity professionals can no longer afford to specialize in niche skills. Having a well-rounded skillset is a must, regardless of your role.

Overview:

In recent news, reports have highlighted the activities of a known APT revealing a new tactic in their cyber-espionage campaigns. It has come to light that the group has been targeting companies by infiltrating their third-party document upload sites.

Firm employees are known for using third-party document upload sites. As a firm Security Operations Center (SOC) member, you have been tasked with conducting a threat hunt to identify if your network has been compromised.

This exercise is structured to provide participants with:

  • Hands-on experience with a real-world scenario that develops skills in a low-pressure environment.
  • Practice with tools to include Elasticsearch / Kibana, Fleet / OSQuery, Velociraptor and FlareVM.
  • The latest tools and techniques that defend and protect your networks before, during and after an attack.
  • Learning that can be used to inform formal incident response playbooks and checklists.
  • Opportunity to compete and collaborate with industry peers to respond and remediate incidents.
  • Certificate of Completion available for Continuing Professional Education credit(s).

How it works:

  • Teams are comprised of ten participants. 
  • Register individually and you are placed on a team with individuals from similar firms. 
  • Register ten or more individuals and you can choose to be your own team(s) or split up to work with individuals from similar firms.
  • Teams compete against each other and are scored according to number of completed tasks, accuracy, and time required.
