Check Point Cyber Security Learning

[ED]

Check Point has something called Cyber Range https://www.checkpoint.com/training/cyber-range/

Check Point RSA Cyber Challenge is now publicly open for the Cyber Security community here https://checkpointred.cympire.com/email_registration/?mode=self

You can earn 3 months of free extension to your existing Check Point certification (CCSA/E/M) upon completing the challenge.

Anyone that attended the Check Point Cyber Range at CPX 360 in Vienna and wants to share their experience?

I receive a 'registration is now closed' message when attempting to go to the registration link.

[Danny]

Too bad. I just wanted to register.

[ED]

I tried now just to test and got the email for registration. Maybe try again. 

[Danny]

Works now.

I also get the same "registration is now closed"

Seems like it is not possible to register anymore. I was able to do it yesterday evening. But the unfortunate part is that a time window was not mentioned until now. Seems like the event will take place between 5pm - 12am PST which is 01:00-  09:00 in my current time zone. Is there any way to be part of a future session instead of this one? Initially my plan was not to do this during the night. If there is not any chance I can try to do it early in the morning. But I am not sure if my time would be enough in such a case (for example if I start at 6 or 7 am I would only have 2-3 hours). As I also don't know what to expect its kind of difficult. Danny Jung‌ as far as I know you have the same "problem" - if that is a problem for you. How do you plan to attend?

[Danny]

I attended yesterday evening. Great battle. Everything was fine. Awaiting my 3 months certificate extension and a Cyber Warrior badge now.

[Maik]

Ah okay I see, how long did it take you to complete everything? Just that I have some orientation regarding the approx. time I will have to spend.

[Danny]

90min battle.

[Maik]

So it's Saturday at 6am for me now.

The site still shows

"The challenge is available between 5pm - 12am PST. Thank you for your patience."

Current PST Time:

Pacific Time (PT)

Seems like the date is incorrect - which date you ask? Well the one that was and is not mentioned at all.

Guess I just wasted some hours of weekend sleep and my Friday evening for this.

This is the worst.
