A local cyber security company, POPP3R CYBER SECURITY, is revolutionizing cyber training by incorporating games to make it more engaging and interactive. The founder, Hernan Popper, introduced a board game called Cyber Wargame, which aims to strengthen professionals’ skills and prepare them to face digital threats in a fun and collaborative way. This game requires players to understand social engineering and act as defenders, allowing them to learn while playing. In addition to the board game, POPP3R CYBER SECURITY has also brought an arcade-style prototype called Cyber Cup to Canada, which uses neuroscience and gamification to deliver cybersecurity training.
These innovative approaches to cyber training are not meant to replace traditional methods but rather complement them. Popper believes that by introducing gamified training programs, companies, organizations, and universities can create a shift in company culture and behaviors towards cybersecurity awareness. The ultimate goal is to make cybersecurity training more accessible, enjoyable, and effective for professionals in various industries.
