Calisec Team won Splunk Boss of the SOC (BOTS) Day 2019 (San Jose).


What is Boss of the SOC (BOTS)?
Boss of the SOC is a blue-team jeopardy-style capture-the-flag-esque (CTF) activity where participants use Splunk—and other tools—to answer a variety of questions about security incidents that have occurred in a realistic but fictitious enterprise environment. It's designed to emulate how real security incidents look in Splunk and the type of questions analysts have to answer.
