Some Howest lecturers decided to attend Locked Shield in May of that year and gave a presentation about what this entails and their experience.

They explained us on how everything is set up, because it is not just a "standard" Red vs Blue Team exercise. There is also a support team because there are customers that have to be kept satisfied.

The lecturers discussed their insights from the event and how they learned from the military and other participants. Overall, the presentation was informative and gave the audience a better understanding of Locked Shield and its importance in enhancing cyber security skills.

In the end it was a every informative presentation. It is something I would like to attend, but as said during the presentation there are limitations on who can join.
