IMPACT 2024 Speaker
Escape Room – How skills needed in Escape room challenges apply to your Cybersecurity team
We have tremendous IT turnover today and a lack of skilled resources for some job roles such as threat hunters in a Security Operations Center (SOC). This session will explore how Escape Rooms can teach IT leadership about building a Cybersecurity team. An escape room is an ideal teaching tool that an organization can leverage to address the challenge of assembling a security team and navigating problems together. Success starts with the team and having the right mix of talent and skills should reveal the clues to the game. We will explore the job roles in a SOC and skills required while correlating those to the skills required to successfully navigate an escape room challenge.
