A 90-minute, interactive, gamified leadership exercise
Enhance your proficiency in operational cybersecurity decision-making through immersive team-based simulations with Cyber42. Practice agile decision-making and information synthesis, key skills required for success in leadership roles. Engage in thought-provoking discussions and gain practical insights to improve your cybersecurity competencies.
As cyber-attacks become more common and more expensive, many organizations are making a foundational shift to view operations from the point of view of an adversary in order to protect their most sensitive information. Despite vulnerability tools and programs being available for several decades, breaches still happen regularly from known vulnerabilities. Complicating the matter more are a wide range of modern technologies requiring more time and knowledge to manage, more known vulnerabilities than ever before, an unprecedented migration to cloud, and ever-increasing legal and regulatory compliance standards. Information Assurance Engineers, Auditors, SOC Analysts, and Cybersecurity Managers need more to better defend an organization’s data systems.
Cyber42 is a leadership simulation game that puts you in the driver’s seat of making tough leadership calls on behalf of a fictitious organization that needs your expertise. Each outcome will be followed by thoughtfully group discussion. The winning team will be decided by who makes the strongest security cultural impact to the fictitious organization.
