Hey Community! By now you may have seen the SecOps Workshop + CTF event promoted in our banner. I mentioned in my message above that we were going to have two different events: 1 workshop and 1 CTF. We decided to combine them both into one fun learning session and challenge event. It just made more sense to do it this way especially since we are piloting this program.  So please join us so we can hear about your experience, gather feedback and continue to build learning events to help you along your security journey. While making it fun and entertaining. Because learning should be fun! 

 

Be sure to register. Spots are limited. Looking forward to seeing you all at the virtual event!

Hi Matthew👋🏼 this is Puja..  I’m currently focused on backend development with a strong interest in security engineering, access management, and cloud security practices. I’ve registered for the SecOps Workshop + CTF and I’m looking forward to it. Waiting for my registration to be processed.

Really curious to see how the workshop and CTF are structured together, especially from a practical SecOps perspective. Excited to learn and contribute!

Hello Mathew!! I'm Asmita, recently delving into cloud security. The resources available in the community has helped me a lot and this Workshop + CTF found me at the right time. Currently waiting for my registration to process and hope to hear from the team soon regarding it. Excited to see how this session turns out!

Hi Matthew,

I came across your post about the SecOps Workshop and virtual Capture The Flag, and I’m very interested in participating. It looks like the registration may already be closed, and I was unable to register.

If possible, could you please add me to the waitlist or let me know if there is still any way to join? I would really appreciate it, as I’m very interested in the SecOps training and CTF.

Thank you for your time.

Best Regards,

Sai

Hi ​@vmacarreinkc Welcome and glad you’re part of the Community! We closed registration due to the volume of folks signing up. Which is a good thing! We plan to have another one of these events next quarter.

Hi everyone! I participated in workshop and finished the CTF. I've already set up my Security Community account could you let me know when the badges/certificates will be issued and if there’s anything else I need to do to claim mine? Thanks!
