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:

Put yourself in the shoes of a security analyst at Orchid Corporation in this hands-on keyboards technical exercise.

A colleague has forwarded you a screen shot of a suspicious email. They explained they received an email with a document attached that they believed was from the internal support team. Following the email's instructions, they unblocked and saved the document before opening it and enabling macros.

It is your job to investigate the incident and determine what happened. Build and test your incident response capabilities through this realistic scenario.

This exercise is structured to provide participants with:

Hands-on experience to build real-world skills in a low-pressure environment
Practice with the latest tools and techniques to defend and protect your networks before, during, and after an attack
Scenarios and techniques that can be used to inform your firm's formal incident response playbooks and checklists
Opportunity to compete and collaborate with industry peers to enhance best practices

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.
