Presenting: Backdoors & Breaches: Where the Ammo Is Fake but the Learning Is Real
Abstract: A live table top exercise using Backdoors & Breaches, which offers an engaging, hands‑on way to build incident‑response skills through realistic cybersecurity scenarios. Participants explore how attacks unfold and practice choosing the best defensive actions, all while learning to communicate clearly and think under pressure. The session encourages everyone to speak up, share ideas, and collaborate — because every perspective can reveal something others might miss.
Whether you are brand‑new to cyber, interested in cyber, or a seasoned practitioner, YOU play an important role in how a team understands and responds to threats. This interactive format bridges the gap between theory and real‑world decision‑making, helping you grow your confidence and your voice in cybersecurity.
