Game of Threats

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.

It is possible to fine-tune the cybersecurity serious game by:

• Adapting the cards to your industry (e.g., health, banking, manufacturing)
• Choosing the type of attacker (e.g., insider, criminal organisation, activist, nation state)
• Increasing or decreasing the time for each round of the session
• Changing the number of rounds in the game according to your needs
• Modifying the technical or human resources of the company and the attacker at the beginning of the game
• Altering the budget allocated to the attacker or the company

The areas covered are:

• governance/organisation
• assessment of the maturity and level of IT or cyber risk a company’s ability to respond
• assessment of the security operations centre (SOC)
• user training and awareness (phishing exercise)
• business resumption or continuity capacity strengthening of infrastructure (detection and protection)
• identification of possible improvements

To go further, we offer an immersive cyber crisis management exercise in virtual reality (virtual crisis experience), as well as access to a customisable cybersecurity monitoring tool (Threat Watch).
