Sessions
“You're new to these parts, traveler. Want to join a new infosec campaign party I’m forming? We’re defending the castle, and don’t have enough heroes to – wait. Where’s your sword?! You can’t defend with a lute!”
Actually, you can.
See, last year, I faced that same skepticism from infosec hiring managers: no IT background. After a slew of rejections, I found some old 20-sided-dice… and I realized I needed to completely reframe my previous career.
Now? I’m a threat analyst for a cyber research group.
So, let me show you how you, too, can pivot into information security during this 4-hour RPG tabletop campaign-workshop!
I’ll guide participant-players through a modern infosec hiring process RPG tabletop “campaign” workshop, acting as the game master as participant-players reskill their classes and adjust their application strategies to win a coveted role for their infosec party.
In the end, you’ll walk away with concrete research, tools, and techniques to help your next employer properly value and respect your current non-infosec skills and experience in your first infosec role.
