This Capture The Flag event will be the perfect opportunity to allocate time to meaningful training that combines competitiveness, gamification, and team-building. We have recently written about why defensive security teams need hacking skills: thinking like a hacker is an advantage for everyone, both pentesters and blue teamers need to polish their hacking skills. Compete with other cybersecurity teams and train while having fun!
