So I haven’t had a chance to tell everyone yet but my proposal for the Virginia Cyber Range‘s (https://www.virginiacyberrange.org/) “VA CYBER EDU CON” (https://www.vacybereducon.org/) that will be held virtually from July 27-28, 2020 was accepted!
I will be presenting “Using Gaming to Reinforce Cybersecurity Concepts.” This will include topics on gamification to encourage student interaction, using existing “realistic” games such as NITE Team 4 by (@aliceandsmith, Alice & Smith), designing new reinforcement/education tools, and show ways to explain techniques like those mentioned by @MalwareTechBlog, @hacks4pancakes, @Kitboga, and others on social media (the 4 previously mentioned groups/users are on Twitter). There will also be a section on popular media such as the movie “Hackers,” and the television show “Mr. Robot,” and how to use that to educate and reinforce key principles. cyber privacy infosec cyberrange gaming gamification education informationsecurity itso
