Cybersecurity success increasingly hinges on cognitive readiness, the ability to spot patterns fast, make the right calls under pressure, and perform amid chaos.
 
On this episode of the SECURE AF PODCAST, Will Arnett sits down with Jessica Gulick, Founder and Commissioner of the U.S. Cyber Games, to discuss why cognitive training is critical, how esports players develop these skills instinctively, and why esports represents an untapped pipeline for elite cyber talent.
