At this event, Joseph Katsioloudes presents Breaking Barriers: The Art of (Free) Gamified Security Training.

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/securecodegame, an open-source game hosted on GitHub Skills, that attracted over 3,000 developers within the first 6 months.
