LabyREnth CTF 2017 Launch Day: The Challenge Starts Now!
Summary: Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 opened its LabyREnth Capture the Flag challenge, running until 4:00 p.m. Pacific time on July 23, 2017, with more than 25 security challenges and $32,000 in cash prizes. The CTF is open worldwide, including to Palo Alto Networks partners, and the company says the challenges are based on the daily life of its engineers to drive threat intelligence education.
Why it matters: The stated goal is developing the next generation of analysts, and the pipeline it is drawing from is a public CTF with $32,000 in prizes open to anyone worldwide - a reminder that much of the entry-level threat intelligence talent your team will hire is being trained outside any formal program.
