In continuing support of the InfoSec community around the world, SecureWorks is excited to spend the week-end in Sheffield in support of SteelCon “The North’s Premier Hacker* Con”. Be sure to stop by our booth to talk with SecureWorks team members and try out this year’s game and contest:
Bagatelle
Come play on our old wooden Bagatelle. The aim is to strike the ball to score the highest number of points, you will soon realise that it takes a lot more skill than you think to aim true and apply just the right force for the ball to go to the right pockets. We will keep track of points and the player with the highest score will earn a Fitbit wristband (rules apply)!
Capture the Flag
The SecureWorks CTF offers some fun and unusual challenges. Display a combination of skill, luck, and out-of-the-box thinking and you might not leave empty handed, we have some great prizes to win (rules apply):
- Bash Bunny
- Mini Projector
- Boom Speaker
We have also created some comfy T-shirts to get you dressed-up for the summer. Those will be given to participants of the CTF solving at least one challenge (within the limit of available stock).
Be sure to visit the SecureWorks booth for additional information, fun and speak to our experts about their InfoSec life in the trenches. We are waiting for you!
