There's an often-underutilized learning method that not only heightens security preparedness but also acts as a balm for the burnout crises: simulation training.

Simulation training boosts confidence because unlike traditional training methods, the learner gains experience over time through true-to-life virtual cyber warfare training and sparring against simulated malicious adversaries that behave like human opponents.

Why do we expect professional cyber teams to do the same? Simulation training can be used for individual training, but it makes more sense to practice how you play-together.

Team training in real-world settings improves communication skills, collaborative problem solving, and other soft skills.

Performance scores after training sessions let security managers and CISOS know where the skill gaps on their teams are and provide specialized training to level up their teams.

Simulation training offers a refreshing and engaging way for teams to spend time together honing their skills while strengthening the organization's cybersecurity posture.
