THE  POWER OF GAMES  IN CYBERSECURITY

While education, certification, and apprenticeship are important training
instruments, games provide a safe and legal place to practice offensive and
defensive techniques in a real-world environment with others.


REDEFINE PARADIGMS

Learn More


REDEFINE PARADIGMS

Cybersecurity games help a growing number of individuals realize that
cybersecurity goes beyond initial thoughts of IT security controls by delving
deeper into motives, tactics, techniques, and multi-pivot strategies. It helps
us see that cybersecurity is about motives not just controls.


DRIVE MORE DIVERSITY

Learn More


DRIVE MORE DIVERSITY

Games remove the stigma of stereotypes associated with cybersecurity and open a
path for players from all kinds of backgrounds, nationalities, education levels,
and age groups to learn and grow. This infusion of diverse skills and mindware
will contribute to up-leveling our cybersecurity workforce.


GO BEYOND TECHNICAL

Learn More


GO BEYOND TECHNICAL

Games adjust to all skill levels and types. While red versus blue remains a
favorite format, today's games can also be focused on policy, forensic puzzles,
clue-based escape rooms, and jeopardy questions. This variety trains the
workforce for defense in depth and breadth to enable comprehensive risk
strategies.


INCREASE THE TALENT POOL

Learn More


INCREASE THE TALENT POOL

Today's games can be played across a wide variety of digital platforms with some
games only requiring a cell phone to participate. This ubiquitous access enables
an extended population of individuals from all age groups, economic backgrounds,
and skill levels to learn, compete, and grow.




IMMERSIVE TRAINING EXPERIENCE

Learn More


IMMERSIVE TRAINING EXPERIENCE

 Today's cyber strategies are about more than just finding needles in haystacks,
they are about visibility into and across the surface of the haystack. Unlike
traditional classroom teachings and labs, games can provide more real-life,
immersive experiences that help athletes experience indicators and threats, and
respond through hands-on application of tools, techniques and mitigations.


SAFE PLACES TO ATTACK & DEFEND

Learn More


SAFE PLACES TO ATTACK & DEFEND

Ever wonder why, after spending millions of dollars trying to address the cyber
workforce gap, it remains years later? Security professionals lack the ability
to test and stretch their skills and learn a new environment with different
defenses and threats. Games offer safe and legal environments to experiment,
train and learn amongst peers and mentors.


TEAMWORK, SPORTSMANSHIP, AND STRATEGY

Learn More


TEAMWORK, SPORTSMANSHIP, AND STRATEGY

While Hollywood likes to emphasize the lone hacker taking over the world, the
reality is that cyber attack and defense are team activities. Both benefit from
the power of a community-based team effort by choosing to share, contribute, and
collaborate to achieve a goal or just learn something new.

In their Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity, the National Initiative for
Cybersecurity Education (NICE) recognizes that those performing cybersecurity
work—including students, job seekers, and early professionals—"are lifelong
