What if you could add to the fun by taking part in an entertaining free holiday-themed cyber security event that both builds your skills and gives you the chance of adding a stellar prize to the pile of gifts under your tree?

That's what's on offer with the 2022 SANS Holiday Hack Challenge, billed as the most festive virtual cyber security event of the year.

Create a customized avatar to help Santa defeat the Elves of Hacking Evil, or at least a cabal of cyber super villains, and save the holiday season.

You'll get to show off your know-how and learn new techniques in multiple cyber protection disciplines, including Web Application Vulnerabilities and Exploitation, SecDevOps and Supply Chain Attacks, Network Security, crypto currencies, Non-Fungible Tokens, Smart Contract Attacks, and Cloud Security.

The Holiday Hack Challenge caters to players of all abilities, with a special focus on people who are new to cyber, with plenty of hints provided by Santa's helpful elves.

Hackers don't advertise when they're going to strike, nor does the SANS Holiday Hack Challenge.
