Connect with the crew behind the annual SANS Holiday Hack Challenge for this special webcast to wrap up another year and name the big winners. Plus, get a sneak peek and a few tips for next year’s challenge, already well under development.

Chief creator Ed Skoudis will be joined by members of his team to offer an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the 2022 event, share how the various challenges came together, cover how players performed, and more. In addition to announcing the winners, they’ll share statistics from the game, including those of the quirky variety such as how many cumulative miles were walked by the nearly 20,000 players who joined in the fun this year.
