It’s a Prerequisite | Critical to Getting that FREE Cert in Vegas!
You know that feeling when you finish the last episode of House of the Dragon and have to wait two years for the next season? Well, we don’t do that to you at Splunk! We’re already back with another free certification at .conf24 in Vegas this summer – the Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Engineer (CDE). But, to sit for this exam at .conf24, you’ll need to take the prerequisite – the Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Analyst (CDA) before you go! Think of it as the prequel in the next episode of your career.
