Sharpen your cybersecurity skills with real-world Microsoft simulations, expertly tailored for State of California Agencies.
Join Microsoft and Planet Technologies for the gamified Capture the Flag event designed to challenge your security expertise and showcase the full capabilities of Microsoft Defender, Purview, and Sentinel. Participants will have the opportunity to choose between two immersive, hands-on experiences—each simulating real-world cyber threat scenarios using Microsoft’s advanced security stack.
Whether you’re securing identities, protecting data, or defending against advanced threats, this is your opportunity to go beyond theory and engage in a fully interactive simulation.
