Join the October 2023 C|EH Compete Global Challenge: Ransomware Incident Response

The Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH v12) certification by EC-Council incorporates the C|EH global challenges as a part of its C|EH Compete framework to offer top ethical hackers a golden opportunity to assess their merit in ethical hacking. These challenges, held every month, are based on current themes, evaluating a candidate's proficiency in core ethical hacking skills and their abilities to exploit emerging threats and vulnerabilities. Candidates race against the clock in 4-hour capture-the-flag style competitions and battle with peers globally to secure the top spot on the C|EH Compete leaderboard. Through scenario-based engagements in EC-Council's live cyber range environments, candidates encounter new technologies and gain credibility in skills that are in demand today.

The October C|EH Compete Challenge Scenario: The Scenario
You're the chief information security officer (CISO) of "SecureBank Corp.," a mid-sized financial services company. Your organization has been hit by a devastating ransomware attack, encrypting critical systems and data. The attackers have demanded a hefty cryptocurrency ransom for the decryption key. This incident came to light when employees found themselves unable to access files, instead receiving a menacing ransom note. IT staff quickly identified the ransomware and isolated affected systems. Law enforcement and an incident response team were alerted. The attackers escalated the situation, threatening to release sensitive customer data if their demands aren't met within five days.

Your Mission
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to lead the incident response team in recovering from this ransomware attack and minimizing the impact on your organization. In a bold move, you've decided not to pay the ransom. Instead, your focus is on restoring systems, conducting a thorough investigation, and implementing robust measures to prevent future attacks.
