COGENT Cyber Skills Platform Range
NACRA CyberQuest Events 2023
During the week of October 16th 2023, the North American Cyber Range Alliance (NACRA) is offering a series of hands-on interactive cybersecurity workshops AT NO COST. The intent is to expose those interested in cybersecurity careers and those with experience in the field to the professional challenges that nation state and criminal adversaries present to those protecting our nation.
Everyone is eligible to participate, including those in high schools, higher education, business/public professional practitioners, invited guests and the community. These interactive workshops are made possible without cost through the generosity of ‘Participating NACRA Organizations’, and NACRA’s ‘Preferred Range Partners’.
Participants are expected to abide by ethical and professional standards similar to those required of any professional workplace.

Don’t worry, this defender workshop has plenty of HINTS. You are guaranteed to finish and to learn new tools and tactics.
Who should attend: Those who have been on labs and cyber ranges with good basic skills of 5 Phases of ethical hacking, using recon, pcap analysis, running kali linux or similar hacking OS with all the tools. Participants may be a team or single participant.

Enterprise Attacked – Prevent a Disaster!
Competition: How good are you? Find out over 5 days of access using both Red and Blue Team CTF Skills. Who will get the prize and brag rights?

Scoring is based on highest points and fastest time to remediate attacks.
Who should attend: This event is for those who eat and sleep cyber offense and defense – seasoned cyber defenders, pentesters and system incident responders (intermediate to advanced cyber skills). Participants may be a team or single participant.
