About this talk

On August 8 in Las Vegas, the world of cybersecurity competitions met the world of eSports and everything changed. The inaugural Wicked6 Cyber Games, a fundraiser hosted by the Women’s Society of Cyberjutsu, brought some of the top collegiate cyber teams to compete onstage in the HyperX Esports Arena. Join us for this recap of the event where we will share audience and participant reactions and key lessons, how the gamification of cybersecurity can increase diversity in the workforce, and how the abilities that competitors exhibit in cyber games can be quantified and mapped to critical skills that corporations seek when filling IT security roles.
