What we do - Cybersecurity
As companies pivot toward a digital business model, the amount of data generated and shared among organizations, partners and customers is growing at an exponential rate. This digital information has become the lifeblood of today’s interconnected business ecosystem and is increasingly valuable to organizations—and to skilled threat actors. Business digitization has also exposed companies to new digital vulnerabilities, making effective cybersecurity and privacy more important than ever.

Game of Threats™
PwC invites you to join us at this exclusive, invitation-only event. Game of Threats™ is a digital game developed by our professionals that is designed to simulate the speed and complexity of an actual cyber breach. During this interactive experience you will put yourself in the shoes of a client or threat actor. The game environment creates a realistic experience where you’ll be required to make quick, high impact decisions with minimal information. At its core, Game of Threats™ is a critical decision making game that has been designed to reward good decisions and to penalize teams for making poor decisions. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of the steps organizations need to take to better secure their companies.

Key takeaways for you:

• Learn lessons about a company’s ability to respond to a cyber attack
• Understand the potential ramifications and remediation options after an attack
• Understand what companies can do to prevent an attack
