Traditional certifications and lecture-based training may teach fundamental technical concepts, but they can’t prepare your workforce for the dynamic and complex challenges that they encounter in the real world. That's what makes Capture the Flag (CTF), the traditional hacker wargame, so important for security professionals. CTF events are designed to test and build the skills of cybersecurity professionals through real-world scenarios. The challenges have been carefully crafted, are multilayered, and cover non-obvious vulnerabilities. Your workforce may not have seen these types of challenges before and may not know how to solve or even approach them at first. It is this ability to learn on the fly and think outside of the box that gives hackers their elite reputation—and it's something your workforce can learn.
