CS-Technopoly: A Cybersecurity Megagame from the Norwegian Cyber Range

På avslutningsdagen under Sikkerhetsfestivalen arrangerer NTNU Gjøvik og NITO et "Megagame".

https://www.nito.no/kurs-og-arrangementer/ingenior--og-teknologifag/cs-technopoly-a-cybersecurity-megagame-from-the-norwegian-cyber-range/

Et "Megagame" er en lagidrett hvor du lærer å håndtere cybersikkerhetshendelser utfra et konkret trusselscenario.

"Megagame" bygger på hvordan endringer i det geopolitiske landskapet og teknologisk utvikling skaper nye cybersikkerhetsutfordringer og -trusler i samfunnet og de enkelte selskaper.

De forskjellige lagene har som mål å vokse på tross av disse utfordringene og truslene, og det laget som har mest penger på slutten av spillet vinner. For deltakerne er det læringsprosessen underveis i spillet som er det viktigste; du utvikler personlige og organisatoriske cybersikkerhetsevner og strategier i samspill med andre.

Det er max 60 deltakere på "Megagame", og du kan melde deg på som enkeltdeltaker (CISO/CEO/CIO/CFO/CTO) eller som et lag. Hvert lag har 4-6 spillere med ulike roller.

Arrangementet foregår på engelsk, men det enkelte laget kan selv bestemme sitt arbeidsspråk under spillet.

Strategic Engagement with Cybersecurity Games : A Mini-workshop

The primary aim of this mini workshop is to provide an overview of how serious games and sandboxing can facilitate a deeper organizational engagement with the complex issues around cybersecurity planning and compliance .

The workshop will first cover some key basic theoretical concepts in cybersecurity strategic planning and policy development and give a brief overview of ongoing research in the area. After this brief theoretical overview, the participants will engage in a design workshop for a cybersecurity game similar to the CS-Technopoly Megagame that has been held at the Sikkerhetsfestivalen in the past few years.

Be prepared to discuss make security investments decision during the session
