Cyber Defender Foundation (CTF)
Overview
The cyber defender foundation capture the flag (CTF) has been designed to test and teach those responsible for detecting and defending an organisation against a cyber-attack. The QA cyber lab offers a safe environment for IT and security teams to develop their cyber defence skills and put to them to the test against the clock.
This is not for your elite 'hackathon# champions, this foundation CTF provides a learning platform for your multi-discipline technical teams to work together collaborating as they would do in a real cyber-attack. During the event challenges are released which requires the participants to navigate through systems, seeking vulnerabilities, exploiting, decrypting, whatever it takes to find the flag. Talented individuals working in isolation can't defend an organisation successfully. Learn the necessary cyber defence 'trade craft' skills, in our state of the art cyber lab, a fully immersive learning experience, harnessing the talent within your teams to solve the challenges together before you have to do it for real.
Objectives
Delegates will be able to demonstrate the following:
- How to work as a team during complex technical tasking

- Cyber defence 'tradecraft' problem solving activity
- System, network and service enumeration
- Application enumeration and profiling
- How data is encoded, decoded, encrypted and decrypted using various algorithms as a means of evading detection
