Enterprises today are locked in a heated battle with nimble, innovative, persistent cybercriminals and hackers. Attackers gain fast ground by constantly developing new methods. Sending your already over-worked IT teams to traditional cybersecurity training doesn’t give them the tested combat skills they need.
It’s time to go on the offensive against cyber attackers!
Prepare for battle with Symantec Security Simulation
Are your IT teams Cyber Ready? Register for the live webinar, “Think Like Your Attacker - How to Sharpen the Skills of Your Cyber Security Team," and learn how to put your team to the test.
James Griffin, Product Manager for Security Simulation, will present on July 29, 2015 how Symantec Security Simulation strengthens cyber-readiness by enabling teams to think like the adversary using a web-based, highly interactive training experience.
Attendees of this webcast will learn more about how Security Simulation:
Allows participants to take on the identity of their adversaries to understand their motives, tools, techniques, and procedures (TTP)
Transforms security education to create a more engaging, immersive real-world experience through gamification
Delivers player assessment reports that gives insights and guidance for on-going skills development
Change your battle plan
Let’s face it. Organizations are fighting an asymmetric battle against cybercriminals who are adapting tactically, not just technically. Think of it like guerilla warfare where these adversaries deploy seemingly limitless resources to launch increasingly sophisticated, multi-staged advanced targeted attacks.
Sending your IT and security teams to traditional classroom security instruction will not truly prepare them or help teams stay motivated day-to-day. Unfortunately, some of the “cybersecurity experts” who teach these courses have never faced a targeted attack, or they teach with out of date instructional content and focus too much on the tools.
The combination of scarce and largely untested security practitioners means you are never really sure if your IT teams are prepared to handle a real cyber attack. This could bring about some disastrous results when an attack hits your organization.
Assess and advance your team
Symantec’s Security Simulation gives IT professionals ongoing training to understand the latest attack methods—allowing participants to take on the identity of their adversaries to learn their motives, tactics, and tools. Security Simulation also helps managers identify both strong performers and skill gaps on their teams.
Principles of Security Simulation Training are based on the concept of learning through role playing (gamification) and surmounting progressive challenges.
Key benefits include:
Realistic scenarios of today’s sophisticated attacks (based on Symantec’s intelligence of the current threat landscape)
Complex gamification environment
Immersive, interactive tasks with multiple levels
Participant assessment – metrics to evaluate performance
Skill building to boost your team’s effectiveness
New and updated scenarios to keep your team up-to-date on the latest attacks and techniques
Going on the offense with Symantec Security Simulation
But until you’ve lived through an actual breach, your team is largely unproven. Would a pilot fly a plane without logging hours in a training simulator? Would a police officer go out on duty without first participating in real-life training scenarios? How can we expect security teams to be effective in detecting and responding to cyber threats if they’ve never practiced attack scenarios?
Stay steps ahead of your adversary by learning to think like an attacker. Symantec’s Security Simulation provides security leaders with the insight necessary to assess skill gaps and training requirements in critical areas.
