CAPACITY REACHED: Powered by Leadership: Game Night! Cyber42: Transformational Leader
INSTRUCTOR:
Kim Jones, Certified Instructor Candidate
WHEN:
Wednesday, July 17th, 2024, 6:45PM ET
WHAT:
Practice your strategic decision-making skills in an engaging, fun, and collaborative environment. Cyber42 is a leadership simulation game that puts you in real-world scenarios that security managers, leaders, and officers find themselves facing daily. Prepare for real-world issues through uniquely crafted cybersecurity challenges.
With enterprises in need of protecting against an endless and increasing onslaught of information security threats, technology management skills alone are no longer sufficient. Today it is about technology, business strategy, and people. Cybersecurity leaders need to be up to speed on information security issues from a technical standpoint, understand how to implement security planning into the broader business objectives, and be able to build a longer lasting security and risk-based culture. Adjusting employees' and leadership's way of thinking about security to prioritize and act to prevent today's most common cybersecurity attacks requires organizational change that affects the foundational culture of the organization.
Cyber42 is a leadership simulation game that puts you in the driver's seat of making tough executive calls on behalf a fictitious organization that needs your expertise. Each outcome will be followed by thoughtfully crafted group discussion. The winner will be decided by who makes the strongest security cultural impact to the fictitious organization.
Learning Objectives:
You will work through different scenarios, each focusing on different elements needed as a Transformational Cybersecurity Leader: Technology, Strategy, Culture. Walk away after the event having advanced the following:
- Identify various decision-making next steps against popular security scenarios
- Strategically balance competing priorities for successful outcomes
- Rapid data synthesis and analysis for informed decision-making
- Risk-free decision-making in a simulated environment for optimal business outcomes
- Building valuable connections with peers in a dynamic and enjoyable setting
Requirements:
- A laptop with a current, modern web-browser
