The Power of Games Developing Cybersecurity Skills
Contents
Games, Esports, and Online Tournaments are the next evolution in preparing tomorrow's cybersecurity workforce.
In this Hot Topic Webinar, you'll learn about gaming to build a better workforce. This event is brought to you by the Tortora Brayda Institute for Partnership Excellence.
Cyber Games are a fundamental element to developing the next generation of a diverse and well-qualified community of cybersecurity talent.
Games not only help build a better workforce, but they also keep the current workforce sharp and maintain a thriving community of cyber professionals prepared for what the future might hold in cyber-attacks and possible disruptive innovations.
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.
