NetWars Tournaments have always been a great way to apply what you learn during your SANS class but also to learn new skills and tricks while playing against your peers. World renowned for being one of the best CTF exercises in the industry, we’re now adding this additional training experience onto your SANS Live Online course.

With your registration for one of our Secure March events, you will be eligible to join the SANS DFIR NetWars Tournaments held on March 18th & 19th. DFIR NetWars is an incident simulator packed with a vast amount of forensic, malware analysis, threat hunting, and incident response challenges designed to help you gain proficiency without the risk associated when working real life incidents. It is unique in that it provides time-limited challenges that can be used to test the skills you've mastered, and at the same time, help you identify the skills you are missing.

Once you’ve registered for a Live Online event, you will be emailed with further information for the relevant tournament. Please contact asiapacific@sans.org should you have any questions related to the NetWars tournament or this event.
