Webcast: Introducing Competitive Backdoors & Breaches and More!

February 12, 2020

Backdoors & Breaches kind of took off.

In case you don’t know, Backdoors & Breaches is an Incident Response Card Game to help people better understand the various attacks and defenses used in security today.

We have sold out twice on Amazon, given out thousands of copies for free at conferences, and sent 2,000+ free decks to infosec educators (with a few thousand more decks to go).

As a standalone game, with an Incident Master driving the narrative, it works really well.

However, we have something else that we have been working on… Competitive Backdoors & Breaches.

Yes, you can play this game against your co-workers. It just takes at least two decks.

In this live webcast, we will be covering: advice for being an Incident Master; playing the regular game with remote teammates; answering many of your questions about gameplay; and introducing the rules on how to play this game competitively against another player.
