Get ready for an interactive adventure like no other (except for the largely successful 8-bit adventures of a security analyst previously presented at AdelaideSEC)!

Gingey is back, and you are once again in the driver’s seat! New scenarios, new learning outcomes, and new technology, but the task remains the same: Using only an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) alert, help a security analyst decide if the alert was caused by one of the following:
