Things You Needa Know
New badge | “I survived summer in Vegas”
Just kidding. The badge isn’t called “I survived summer in Vegas.” It’s called the Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Engineer (CDE) and it’s awarded for passing the new certification exam only available onsite at .conf24 in Las Vegas between June 11-14, 2024. This is a beta exam, so registration is free. But, there’s a catch (errr, a prerequisite): You gotta have the Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Analyst (CDA) certification – read more below. How good will it feel to head home with a new hoodie, loads of swag, and a new certification?

Bring your prerequisite | Necessary for earning that coveted certification
Hey, look up! Did you catch the article about the Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Engineer (CDE) certification? It’s an awesome opportunity for you to add a new certification to your resume for free in Las Vegas at .conf24. But, to sit for this exam, you’ll need to take the prerequisite – the Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Analyst (CDA) exam before you go. Even though it’s Vegas, we don’t recommend gambling on this. Get prepped for the test.
