If you are familiar with recent news reports about security incidents and threats, you’ve probably heard of the ‘dark web’ or the ‘darknet.’ In fact, you don’t even need to pay attention to the news. TV shows, movies and even social networking sites will introduce the terms to you.
Cyber training has been conducted in the same way for years, comprised of traditional, classroom-style settings complete with a teacher lecturing and passive listeners.
We hosted our first-ever “Game of Titans” Cybersecurity Challenge in Las Vegas recently, gathering security professionals together to compete on our Project Ares® cybersecurity platform for a chance to win several prizes.
Late last week, Circadence® participated in the Jack Voltaic 2.0 Cyber Research Project held in Houston, Texas. The event was described as a “bottom-up approach to critical infrastructure resilience,” where the City of Houston, in partnership with AECOM and the Army Cyber Institute (ACI) gathered with critical infrastructure partners to study cybersecurity preparedness gaps.
For years, security professionals, including myself, have advocated for security to be part of the development process. Recently, development has been undergoing a big shift as it becomes a more integrated process.
Our own Laura Lee, executive vice president of rapid prototyping, recently mentored young girls at a Girl Scouts event on Wednesday, June 27, that celebrated the launch of a new cybersecurity badge program.

As the New York Times points out, “Video games are beginning their takeover of the real world,” and with the popularity of Fortnite and other events gaining traction, Circadence® is jumping on the voyeuristic video game bandwagon hosting its first “Game of Titans” Cyber Challenge–a unique event that will demonstrate the power of its immersive, online cybersecurity training platform Project Ares®.
The “Game of Titans” competition is one of THREE ways cybersecurity warriors can experience the power of gamification within cybersecurity training in Las Vegas from August 6 through August 9.
Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) are evil. Or in the words of a friend of mine – “the work of the devil.” I know people generally like shiny windows and icons and that’s fine for a lot of work. But, when it comes to being an info security professional, GUIs are just wrong in many cases
There is a lot out there about the benefits of continuous learning—or continuous professional development—and what we’re gleaning from research is how POWERFUL the approach can be when applied to cyber team training.
When you fly, you are subjected to a lot of requirements when passing through a security checkpoint. You have to take off your belt and jacket, remove everything from your pockets, you can’t carry in liquids more than 3 ounces and on and on.
