Help guide our intrepid duo, by going behind the scenes of a simulated targeted attack and witness typical steps carried out by attackers from their perspective of attack tools and approaches. Your choices on the day will influence the techniques and steps we go through, so pick wisely! Once we achieve our attack objectives, we’ll switch sides to investigate malicious behaviour detections using Sophos EDR in a mock threat hunt.
