NetNordic won the EMEA Splunk Boss of the SOC
NetNordic participated in «Splunk Boss of the SOC» and won!
NetNordic participated in the “Splunk Boss of the SOC” challenge and WON! Out of 350+ participating teams, NetNordic SOC demonstrated our excellence and took the honorary first place.
During the competition, competitors answer a series of questions about security-related scenarios, with different types of difficulty. Points are then obtained for both accuracy and speed. The BOTS scenario challenges participants to trace the steps that led to a cyber security incident and determine the extent of the compromise. This year’s Boss of the SOC had over 16 in-person locations and over 1100 concurrent players that joined the four-hour long competition.
The competition provided NetNordic with an opportunity to showcase our expertise and skills in identifying, investigating, and responding to real-world cybersecurity incidents in a simulated SOC environment. NetNordic security analysts used their knowledge of real-life security incidents, and our experience in how to investigate them, to find traces in the logs and be able to answer the questions as fast as possible. Our NetNordic Lions victory is a testament to the dedication, hard work, and expertise of each SOC specialist within our team, Nicolas Samaneh, Saku Mikola, Onni Knuutila, and Lauri Rantasalo – we are all so proud of you! This is an amazing achievement.
For us, it was like a normal workday, because this is quite similar to how we work with each other as a team, every day
