Hello again from Immersive HQ where the temperature is dropping and the days are getting shorter. Autumn is here which can mean only one thing… It’s nearly Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
BenMcCarthy But before we get into that, let’s take a look at all the great things we achieved together throughout September…
🏆 The Maze Challenge
How did you manage with our most difficult lab challenge ever?
Thousands of you attempted the challenge, but only 4 people escaped the Broken Maze! Congratulations if you were one of them.
Need a hint, check out the Q&A Webinar or head over to the Help Forum and ask an expert.

🔮 Looking Forward
We are very excited to welcome you to Specter Street, a Halloween-themed cybersecurity challenge where you'll use both offensive and defensive skills to solve a mystery unlike anything we’ve encountered before. Each week throughout October, we’ll drop new hands-on labs that slowly begin to uncover the secrets of Specter Street and the furry friend causing havoc. Look out for tomorrow’s blog post which will have all the details about this, and the rest of our Cybersecurity Awareness Month programming.
As always, we want to hear from you! Please give us your feedback on your community experience and let us know what else you'd like to see.
See you in the community soon!
