The Ultimate Fabric Challenge (UFC) 

The official EMEA qualifying round for the Global Championship 2027 is over!  Congratulations to the Ultimate Fabric Challenge winners and finalists! 

The challenge is held at each worldwide Xpert Event throughout 2026. In the first round, you’ll form teams of 2 and compete in an eSports-style competition, to complete a series of technical objectives within a Fortinet customer environment. In this edition, we will explore the fundamentals of Security Operation, use FortiAnalyzer as the centralized device for threat hunting and use its fabric connectors to increase visibilities and use playbooks to automate the remediation tasks. We will also explore the latest advanced features in SASE. The top teams will move on to compete individually in the final round and top 10 finalists will qualify for the Global Championship, to be held at Accelerate 2027! Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-year opportunity to be part of the challenge!
