F.A.Q
How does PwC support you during a Game of Threats session?
Two PwC cyber experts will accompany you throughout the session. Their aim is to bring all participants up to speed on the information they need to know.
They will also help you prepare for, respond to, and remedy an attack as effectively as possible. The experts help to familiarise participants with technical terms to make the subject of cybersecurity more accessible, regardless of their role in the company.
At the end of the game, PwC’s cyber experts draw up an assessment to help you take corrective measures to secure your organisation and your systems.
