Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
In today's digital landscape, no company is immune to cyber-attacks, making preparedness essential for any organization, regardless of size. Enter the world of Tabletop Exercises (TTX), a cost-effective and results-driven approach to test cyber crises proactively. However, workplace dynamics can hinder effective participation as the fear of proposing wrong decisions and the apprehension of appearing less competent in front of colleagues can still stifle creativity, even during a simple exercise. This book addresses these concerns by injecting a fresh perspective, seamlessly integrating elements from Role Playing Games (RPG) into the design and execution of TTX scenarios to make them more engaging and fun. "The Cybersecurity Game Master" invites readers not only to master the TTX mindset but also to embrace it as a gamified experience, fostering a dynamic learning environment without the fear of judgment. By infusing fun into the serious business of cybersecurity, this book redefines TTX design, allowing teams to enjoy the process of understanding their company, procedures, and future challenges in a stress-free manner.
