About the game

Learn by doing

HPE SASE CTF turns TechAccelerator demos into hands-on investigations that reward curiosity, precision, and persistence.

The objective

Explore the demo. Find the evidence. Solve the challenge.

Every challenge begins with a scenario and an authorized TechAccelerator demo. Your task is to examine what happened, identify the requested evidence, and submit the answer in the format described by the challenge.

You compete as an individual, so every point reflects your own investigation and growing familiarity with the technology.

The competition

A fresh race every month—and one race across the year

Monthly

Start each month at zero

Monthly standings track the current game period. At rollover, the period closes and the monthly score resets for a new set of opportunities.

The top individual or individuals for the completed month are recognized and awarded prizes.

All-Time

Make every month count

All-Time standings preserve your cumulative monthly points throughout the calendar year, even as each monthly board begins again.

At year end, the individual with the highest cumulative score wins the grand prize. All-Time standings then reset for the new calendar year.

Fair play

Compete with skill and respect

The game is most valuable when every participant performs their own investigation.

  • Use only authorized demos. Stay within the environments and activities linked by the challenge.
  • Complete your own work. Explore, reason, and submit as an individual.
  • Do not share answers. Give others the opportunity to solve each challenge themselves.
  • Protect the experience. Do not disrupt the game platform, a demo environment, or another participant.
