Are you ready to showcase your cybersecurity prowess and challenge yourself against some of the best in the industry? We are thrilled to introduce the OffSec Versus Tournament. This unique competition is set to offer cybersecurity teams an intense experience through real-world scenarios, setting the stage for three action-packed days of strategic gameplay and skill enhancement.

What is the Versus Tournament?

The Versus Tournament is a virtual event designed specifically for cybersecurity teams. OffSec Versus provides a platform to mimic existing organizational environments and test offensive and defensive security skills in a fully integrated setting. This unique feature of the Enterprise Cyber Range allows for realistic Red vs. Blue training within customizable, live-fire environments.

The Tournament will take place over three days, starting on August 23rd at 12 PM Eastern and concluding on August 25th at 6 PM Eastern. The competition is structured to engage teams in a battle against OffSec’s formidable Blue team machines on our Enterprise Cyber Range platform. With 18 hours of competition spread across the three days, teams will need to stay sharp and focused.

How to Participate

Participation is simple. Gather your ultimate team of four or more and register at our booth #3111 at Black Hat USA. Remember, the competition is exclusively available to those attending the conference, and with spaces being limited, early registration is advised to secure your spot in this tournament. Additionally, you must use a commercial email address when registering, and all participants must be a part of the same organization.

The Competition Format

Teams will compete by attacking predefined targets set up by OffSec’s experts on a sophisticated cyber range. Points will be awarded based on performance and displayed on a leaderboard. It’s a high-stakes environment where the bottom 50% of teams will be eliminated daily, ensuring only the best make it to the final rounds.
