Welcome to December’s edition of the community newsletter!

YIKES! Can you believe it's December already?

If you like me you are wondering where the year has gone and what great Immersive Labs content you might have missed over the last 12 months, fear not, as our Cyber Countdown is here!

Throughout December we'll be unwrapping fresh content, celebrating this year's successes, and gifting you with the tools and insight that you need to be ready for 2025.

We've already opened door number 1 on our "Labvent Calendar" and today’s lab is of course Episode 2 of our Community Challenge. To be in with a chance of a prize you have until midnight on Sunday 22nd December 2024 to complete it!

BenMcCarthy also shared a summary of November's Patch Tuesday
