The interesting and sometimes ironic parallels between the challenges of daily security operations and strategy video games created over the last 20 years can be compelling. In the enterprise, 90% of security employees play video games and 60% play on a daily basis. Taking into account current challenges in security, primarily hiring and lack of employees, what can security teams learn from those parallels? And what role do vendors play in helping to solve these challenges? This presentation will cover those similarities and the challenges along with sharing my experience being involved as an enterprise employee, interactions with both academia and the video game industry and now as a vendor.
