Are you up for a new challenge? 

Today, we’re announcing "The EKS Cluster Games" — a cloud security Capture The Flag (CTF) event. The mission? To identify and learn about common Amazon EKS security issues.  

The challenge consists of five different scenarios, each one focusing on a possible Amazon EKS issue — and we’ve already directly observed some of them in various research engagements. Participants will play as the attacker, learn about these misconfigurations and security issues, and then exploit them in a controlled environment. 

The challenge is designed for individual participation, but we encourage collaboration! You can form a team and discuss strategies with your colleagues or friends. Just remember: the challenge's completion will be individually tracked.

Declare your expertise 

Finishers who register will see their names honored on our live leaderboard and will receive an official certificate signifying their participation. 

For those of you attending KubeCon 2023, we have a special surprise! Once you complete The EKS Cluster Games, visit our booth at these events and present your confirmation of completion to claim your prize. If you can't attend, don't worry — the challenge is accessible online from anywhere, and you can still claim your certificate.
