Cybersecurity: Attack and Defend Challenge

Join us for a Capture-the-Flag Challenge

Connected Systems Institute | September 20, 2024 | 9:30-3:30

You will have a chance to dive into real-world attack scenarios and Fortinet defense strategies to mitigate those attacks.

To protect an organization, it is key to understand how it can be breached. At this event, participants will learn what tools and methodologies threat actors use to breach an organization. The participants will play the role of the threat actor and explore the anatomy of an attack to see how easy it is to penetrate an organization.

Once breached, participants will then go on to deploy and configure different products to understand exactly how these solutions can break the kill chain.
