You're scheduled to speak at an event. How can you make sure organizers stick to your allotted time?
Be considerate of the conference schedule and the next speaker. Few things are more infuriating as a speaker than somebody running over their allotted time slot. Make ending your presentations on time a priority. Be ready to cut off Q&A at an appropriate time as well, and then promptly get out of the way. Remember that the next speaker or conference organizer needs adequate setup time to load a slide deck and sync up with a projector to begin their talk on time. Chances are that the next speaker has carefully prepared and timed their presentation.

Teams
Organizations will compete with a team comprised of nine individuals. These individuals are divided into three roles:
Red Team (4): Tasked to exploit weaknesses in other teams' defended environments.
Blue Team (4): Tasked with protecting their team's competition environment from attacks.
Controller/Team Lead (1): Coordinates team efforts and strategies.
The CDX competition simulates real-world scenarios by enabling offensive and defensive security professionals to demonstrate their skills of capturing flags and preventing capture respectively.
Attack & Defense CTF Structure
Each team has a set of intentionally insecure network environments. Players defend their infrastucture to earn points, and attack opponents to gain additional points.
Skills needed to participate
Players will need to have some basic knowledge of networking. There will be a mix of Windows, Linux, and Unix machines in the environment, so comfortability with each is recommended. This includes Linux/Unix command line and Windows PowerShell. Basic programming and scripting skills are a plus, but not specifically required. Knowledge of penatration testing, system adminstration, and network defense methodologies are recommended.
For the CTF competition, some types of challenges that participants may encounter:
- Broken Access Control
- Cryptographic Failures
- Injection Vulnerabilities
- Insecure Design
- Security Misconfiguration
- Vulnerable and Outdated Components
- Identification and Authentication Failures
- Software and Data Integrity
- Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
- Request Forgery -
