Hacktober: A Month of Security Games at Facebook

Turn it into a game!

Whether you’re parenting or trying to get employees to learn something, gamifying anything improves engagement and retention.

And that’s exactly what Facebook is doing with its security awareness training this October. Hacktober is a month of security games for tech and non-tech staffers where the prizes are exclusive swag. 

Right after recording the 08-27-19 episode of CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast, Mike Johnson interviewed Aanchal Gupta (@nchlgpt), head of security for Calibra, Facebook, to explain Hacktober, and how do the non-security employees get involved in a month of training, pen testing, and games.

Watch the video and then tune into the full episode of the podcast when we drop it on Tuesday, August 27th, 2019.
