Events

The CTAG team holds a number of workshops every year. The topics are diverse and can cover email security, the latest vulnerabilities, the dark web or simply events for networking.

See below for our latest workshop line ups.

Securing your email domain

This series of email workshops build on the successful and popular email workshops in previous years. CTAG is again pleased to fund this activity, but with a revised focus on those that do not have things like MTA-STS in place or with DMARC of less than 100% reject.

These workshops will make use of a virtual, small group setting and are aimed at supporting email administrators to improve security against spoofed subdomains without disrupting existing email delivery through live assessments of attendees’ current domain records.

Dark Web Explorer

This CTAG this workshop builds on previous workshops and it will provide a technical guide for investigating supply-chain ransomware attacks by using freely available claims by ransomware groups. It will take attendees over the steps necessary to investigate specific supply chain incidents impacting their organisations.

It will cover essential security protocols, operating systems in favor of privacy-focused Linux distributions, using VPNs, consider dedicated hardware and how to maintain anonymity while navigating digital "crime scenes." It will emphasise the importance of legal compliance and the use of specialised tools to safely identify and if need be recover example stolen data without falling victim to malware or tracking.

While this workshop is open to WARP members, participants should have reasonable technical skills and be familiar with tools like Rufus to make bootable CDs or USB thumb drives.  A broad understanding of the handling of, and working with digital evidence would also be useful, but not necessary.

DMARC 2

This workshop will focus solely on the new “DMARC 2” (aka RFC 9998 9990 & 9991) standards and how to transition from the current standard to the new standards when ready (to note, the new standards are fully backwards compatible) and can be used with current DMARC settings. This workshop was an ask from the recent survey conducted over summer 2026.
