Contact UsIn this CloudSecNext 2022 session of Cyber42 Vulnerability Management you will play to win! In this 90-minute game day you will play individually to improve the state of a fictional organization and more effectively handle the vulnerability management. During the game, as developed for MGT516: Managing Security Vulnerabilities: Enterprise and Cloud, you will see that the actions you choose can have uncertain outcomes and even unintended consequences!
This interactive simulation puts you in real-world scenarios that spur discussion, critical thinking of situations, and melding of different points of view and personalities that you likely will encounter at work. The decisions you make will impact your organization's vulnerability management program, leveraging and impacting the available budget, time, and vulnerability management maturity.
Winning the game is simple. You need to have the highest score, which represents how well you have adapted and implemented the vulnerability management program. It's not just about implementing security controls, it's about changing behaviors and culture to create lasting improvements.
System Requirements: The Cyber42 game is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Students must have a computer that does not restrict access to AWS services. Corporate machines may have a VPN, intercepting proxy, or egress firewall filter which can cause connection issues communicating with AWS. Students must be able to configure or disable these services to be able to access the Cyber42 game. The Cyber42 app is *not mobile friendly*.
