For the US to battle future cyber-threat actors and complex attacks, we must attract, train, and retain sharp cyber professionals who can innovate, collaborate, and operate with keen instincts, situational awareness, and practiced techniques. Cyber as a sport is critical to developing these skills and why we&#8217;re recruiting cyber athletes, coaches, and sponsors to build the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscybergames.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.uscybergames.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first-ever US Cyber Team.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Imagine a world where cyber professionals equated their skills and competencies in terms of <a href=\"https:\/\/attack.mitre.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/attack.mitre.org\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MITRE ATT&amp;CK<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/nvlpubs.nist.gov\/nistpubs\/SpecialPublications\/NIST.SP.800-181r1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/nvlpubs.nist.gov\/nistpubs\/SpecialPublications\/NIST.SP.800-181r1.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the cybersecurity workforce, we all struggle with recruiting &#8220;good talent.&#8221; This description is ironically ambiguous in an industry founded on data analysis and anomalies. Many companies roll the dice on hiring based on interviews and resumes with little actual measurement of skill and capability.<\/p>\n<p>The rapid rate of digital change and agility needed to survive in today&#8217;s marketplace is not yet addressable by technology. Our cybersecurity teams provide an active human defense layer to discern criticality from noise, determine whether our shields will hold, or response action is needed, and decide what action to take and how fast. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to having the necessary skills and knowledge expected for their work role (NICE Framework), &#8220;talented&#8221; cybersecurity professionals are also knowledgeable about, if not experienced with, common tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of cyberattackers (MITRE ATT&amp;CK). Traditionally, this unique blend comes from hard-earned experience and apprenticeship of at least five years.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-image=\"j7bbgk5gksbt\" src=\"https:\/\/eu-images.contentstack.com\/v3\/assets\/blt66983808af36a8ef\/blt8867437c35fbab94\/60bf8f165f29d426c9b8571b\/CyberGamesLogo.png\" data-sys-asset-uid=\"blt8867437c35fbab94\" alt=\"CyberGamesLogo.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Cyber games and tournaments help reduce these years considerably by simulating the experience of an attack, revealing how indicators of attacks manifest on a network live, and helping us learn through collaboration what responses work and don&#8217;t work. Cyber games provide a fun and safe place to hack and hone critical skills. <\/p>\n<p>Imagine an iterative crucible of competition molding a pipeline of security teams and creating a battery of challenges to demonstrate cyber skills. Cyber athletes now have the means to prove their value to future employers in a quantifiable way: a field of friendly strife to measure their aptitude against other competitors. First-person shooter games hone the skills of future combatants. Cyber sports create a collaborative method to attract and inspire the next generation of cyber professionals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Competition Builds Success<\/strong><br \/>Every day our industry faces the test of whether we have what it takes. And what about tomorrow?<\/p>\n<p>We must, as Theodore Roosevelt states, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalfloss.com\/article\/63389\/roosevelts-man-arena\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalfloss.com\/article\/63389\/roosevelts-man-arena\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dare greatly<\/a> to face this generational challenge. It&#8217;s time to recognize our best in cybersecurity tradecraft. What better way to do this as Americans than with sports? The e-sports market is booming:<\/p>\n<p> \u25cf Mordor Intelligence <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mordorintelligence.com\/industry-reports\/esports-market\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.mordorintelligence.com\/industry-reports\/esports-market\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reports<\/a> that the e-sports market is expecting a 20% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between now and 2026, fueled by the pandemic. <\/p>\n<p> \u25cf The video gaming industry is changing rapidly with immense tournaments engaging millions of fans and attracting sponsors and investments from international brands, as stated in the latest industry report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandviewresearch.com\/industry-analysis\/esports-market\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.grandviewresearch.com\/industry-analysis\/esports-market\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GrandViewResearch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> \u25cf According to <a href=\"https:\/\/newzoo.com\/insights\/articles\/global-games-market-to-generate-175-8-billion-in-2021-despite-a-slight-decline-the-market-is-on-track-to-surpass-200-billion-in-2023\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/newzoo.com\/insights\/articles\/global-games-market-to-generate-175-8-billion-in-2021-despite-a-slight-decline-the-market-is-on-track-to-surpass-200-billion-in-2023\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newzoo<\/a>, in 2020 the global games market generated $177.8 billion, and 2021&#8217;s global streaming gaming revenues are projected to increase 73.6%.<\/p>\n<p>The environment is ideal for leveraging the growing interest and participation in e-sports to increase interest in cybersecurity careers. E-sports drive team play and spectator fans more so than traditional cyber tournaments, which help to amplify their value, energy, and impact. By mixing gaming aptitude and skills with cybersecurity, our community can accelerate training and skills development to help grow a &#8220;cyber-ready&#8221; workforce to defend against attacks. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why we are building the first-ever US Cyber Team to compete at the International CyberSecurity Challenge (ICSC).
