The document discusses how gaming and simulation can play an increasing role in improving cyber resilience. It argues that humans are the biggest security problem and prevention-centric strategies are becoming obsolete. Gaming and simulation are effective ways to engage people in learning about cyber security since people learn best from experience, and it can help shift security strategies to be more people-centric. Serious games and total immersion simulations that provide rapid feedback can help train both IT professionals and regular users, improving overall cyber resilience.

Cyber Security is a very serious subject for society as a whole, the extent of that threat is a matter of opinion however regardless of whether you believe in the concept of cyber warfare, the threat of cyber security is real and with many actors.
WE’VE SPENT AS MUCH TIME PLAYING WOW AS WE HAVE EVOLVING AS A SPECIES
But regardless, it's amazing how many products and services are available now to cybercriminals. For example, this testing platform, which enables the cybercriminals to test the quality of their viruses before they release them on the world. For a small fee, they can upload it and make sure everything is good.
But it goes further. Cybercriminals now have crime packs with business intelligence reporting dashboards to manage the distribution of their malicious code. This is the market leader in malware distribution, the Black Hole Exploit Pack, responsible for nearly one third of malware distribution in the last couple of quarters. It comes with technical installation guides, video setup routines, and get this, technical support. You can email the cybercriminals and they'll tell you how to set up your illegal hacking server.
