What if learning cybersecurity felt less like a compliance checkbox and more like an adventure? In this episode, Geoff and Skyler sit down with two special guests to explore how gamification is revolutionizing the way people learn about security tactics and concepts. TrustedSec’s Senior Security Consultant Travis Kaun drops in to talk about his latest community offering: Dungeons and Daemons, a web-based RPG that simulates a “live” engagement as a Red Teamer. We are also joined by Tim Doerges who is Lead Developer of Backdoors & Breaches at Black Hills InfoSec to talk about how this incident response card game has taken off since its launch and what developments are on the horizon. Watch to see demos of these games and get a better understanding of why the future of cybersecurity education be through gamified experiences.
