In May 2017, we launched the third edition of our MISSIONS. With the stakes so high, and with one of the biggest security events calling, enrollments (and thus, entries) came pouring in from the very first week. Now, two months and hundreds of entries later, the time has come to find out who among you will be headed to the Sin City for the ultimate infosec experience.
After flying around Dubai, getting students #shirtified internationally, and sending out a special-edition iPhone 7, we are now on the latest edition of our globetrotting MISSIONS.
This time, we head westward to yet another desert – the Mojave – wherein lies the fabled City of Sin.
FINALLY! After weeks of schedules, itineraries, and reservations – not to mention the unfortunate mishap at Henri Coandă International – MISSION: Dubai winner Costin-Alin Neacsu stepped foot in the emirate of Dubai on January 15th, 2017.
Some of the eLearnSecurity Dubai team greeted him at the Al Maktoum International Airport in the southern part of the city.
After weeks of stiff competition – and hours upon hours of conclave – the judges have finally reached a decision, and we’re thrilled to announce the winners of eLearnSecurity‘s biggest contest yet – MISSION: Dubai.
We couldn’t have been any happier watching the videos, as they were able to showcase not only the presenters’ stories, but also their (sometimes very animated) personalities.
On October 2016, we launched MISSION: Dubai, the biggest video competition this side of IT Security has ever seen. In the goal of spreading the word on how eLearnSecurity training has helped in advancing the careers of IT security professionals the world over, we asked our students to become eLS brand ambassadors and tell others about what they’ve accomplished.
Wait, did you hear what Armando said? Are we really flying in one of you guys to DXB??? #UNLOCKED

We promised you during the UNLOCKED webinar that we’re bringing one of you to Dubai from anywhere in the world, and that’s exactly what we’re gonna do!
