Cyber Ready Community Game
FEMA partnered with cybersecurity experts to develop an engaging strategy board game to explore the dynamics of cyber preparedness. Using gameboards and playing cards, players group within the game “community” to decide how to invest cyber credits to protect essential services.
The community weathers multiple cyber incidents, shares information, and negotiates to prioritize cyber response resources needed to sustain the community’s critical functions. Through game play, players learn aspects of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s cybersecurity framework.
FEMA is currently out of stock of Cyber Ready Board Games. We are working with vendors to reprint game kits and expect to have them back in stock in the late spring 2025. Please check back for updates.
