Notes

Abstract

In a world where security training often feels like a mundane chore, discover the refreshing impact of gamification and turn learning into an enjoyable experience. Embark on an insightful journey as we unveil the success story of gh.io/secure-code-game, an open-source game hosted on GitHub Skills, that attracted over 5,000 developers within its first year.

This session will provide you with an exclusive behind-the-scenes perspective, offering valuable insights and practical strategies to revolutionize various aspects of security training for your benefit. We’ll explore a case study from a tech startup that observed, among the developers who played the game, an increased sense of ownership for code security, improved communication with security teams, and a strong willingness to embrace further security training.
