Risk exposure is a perpetual challenge to model and communicate; especially to stakeholders outside of the risk management discipline. Gamification has proven to be a useful mechanism to get teams aligned with a shared objective. Come play a game with us as we unleash a terrible "what-if" doomsday machine—in the form of a card game. We will explore potentially thousands of cyber-loss scenarios—from insider threats to malware meltdowns—and gamify the impact on organizations. This model has been taught to hundreds of students at the Carnegie Mellon University Executive CISO Program, where the model is changing the risk conversation at many forward-leaning organizations

 

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how every cyber-loss incident can be broken down into a simple three-part scenario (actor, vulnerability, target) and apply this to real-world loss scenarios.
• Walk away with tangible communication tools for clients, customers, teams and organizations to represent risk in a scenario-based perspective.
• Expand their perspective while having fun.
