Do you have a brilliant security orchestration playbook idea? Want a chance to earn renown and bring home cash prizes, while contributing to the security community? Read on to learn more about Automation Rising 2020, the ultimate playbook building challenge!

The Cortex XSOAR Marketplace launched earlier this week, making it easier than ever for security teams to discover and share security orchestration innovations built by the world’s largest SOAR ecosystem – and boost the use of automation within their organizations.

To help accelerate content creation for the marketplace, we’re hosting the industry’s largest ever SOAR hackathon: Automation Rising 2020. Our virtual playbook-building competition can help refine your skills and makes $60,000 in cash and other prizes available to the winners. 

Winning playbook submissions will be available in the Cortex XSOAR Marketplace after review by Palo Alto Networks experts, helping bring novel security orchestration innovations to the SOAR community.
