Join us for a Boss of the SOC (BOTS), a blue-team capture the flag-esque competition. As a contestant, you will explore and investigate realistic event data in Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Enterprise Security.

During the event, you'll practice your security skills with a team of other government and education employees, and Splunk resources and have a friendly competition against peers for prizes and bragging rights. For those that are still learning security investigation techniques in Splunk, do not worry, plenty of assistance will be on hand from Splunk experts facilitating the workshop as well as the more experienced users in the room which may be part of your team.  Participants will gain a perspective of a variety of security situations, have existing skills refined, and learn new skills related to security incident investigation and prevention.
