WiCyS CTF
Made possible
by SentinelOne
The CTF events are a collaboration with WiCyS and strategic partners that creates a gamified competition experience for WiCyS members.
Join us for “SentinelOne X WiCyS: ThreatOps CTF Series”
Real Threats. Real Competition. Real Experience.
SentinelOne is teaming up with Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) to bring you the ThreatOps CTF Series – a two-week Capture the Flag competition open to students, experienced professionals and cybersecurity enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re just getting started or a seasoned threat hunter, there’s a challenge track built for you.
Put your skills to the test using the SentinelOne Singularity Platform across two themed tracks:
-
Endpoint Track – Hunt malware, trace lateral movement and uncover threat indicators through challenges like Deep Visibility, Jurassic Park, Assimilation, Dad Joke, Modern Malware Family, Lending a Remote Hand and Story Lines.
-
Singularity Data Lake Track – Dive into SentinelOne’s most challenging hunting ground, crafting queries and tracking attacker activity through challenges like Finding Nemo, Lake Placid, The Abyss and JAWS.
Each correct answer earns you points and moves you closer to becoming a ThreatOps champion. Hints and live instructor support are available if you get stuck — this is about learning as much as competing.
