The Power of Games Developing Cybersecurity Skills

Written by US Cyber Games | August 26, 2021

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.

During this webinar, you'll learn more about the US Cyber Games® program that is scouting the first-ever US Cyber Team® to compete globally.
