Cyber42 Game Day: Vulnerability Management Simulation

  • Tuesday, 23 Feb 2021 10:30AM EST (23 Feb 2021 15:30 UTC)
  • Speakers: Jonathan Risto, Chris Denney

In this special session you will play to win the Cyber42 Vulnerability Management Simulation! In this 90-minute Game Day you will play as part of a team to improve the state of a fictional organization and more effectively handle the vulnerability management. During the game, as developed for MGT516: Managing Security Vulnerabilities: Enterprise and Cloud, you will see that the actions you choose can have uncertain and even unintended consequences.

This interactive simulation puts you in real-world scenarios that spur discussion, critical thinking of situations, and melding of different points of view and personalities that likely will encounter at work. The decisions your team makes will impact your organizations vulnerability management program, leveraging and impacting the available budget, time, and vulnerability management maturity.

Winning the game is simple. Your team needs to have the highest score, which represents how well your team has adapted and implemented the vulnerability management program. nIt's not just about implementing security controls, it's about changing behaviors and culture to create lasting improvements.

The Cyber42 game was originally developed for MGT512: Security Leadership Essentials for Managers and is now part of four SANS Cybersecurity Management courses. Free Cyber42 Game Days are offered monthly to the entire community. Review the 2021 schedule here.
