Enhance your proficiency in operational cybersecurity decision-making through, a scenario-based leadership simulation game. Practice agile decision-making, rapid information synthesis, and strategic trade-offs, core competencies for success in leadership roles. Engage in thought-provoking discussions and walk away with practical insights to improve your leadership impact.

As cyberattacks become more frequent and costly, organizations must adopt an adversary’s perspective to protect critical assets. Despite decades of tools and programs, breaches from known vulnerabilities remain common. The challenge is amplified by complex technologies, an explosion of exploitable flaws, rapid cloud and AI adoption, and escalating compliance demands. Security professionals, whether Engineers, Auditors, SOC Analysts, or Managers need more than technical skills to defend effectively.

Cyber42 is a fast-paced leadership game that puts you in the hot seat, making tough calls for a fictitious organization under attack. Each round is followed by spirited group debate, and the winner is crowned based on who delivers the strongest security impact.
