The Cyber Melee initiative was developed by Johnathan Schofield (Skofi) and Martin White, aiming to enhance community engagement among cybersecurity service providers through a competitive yet educational format. It features a qualification round with pre-qualifying questions, followed by a live competition where selected participants will tackle cybersecurity scenarios presented by industry experts. The initiative is designed to ensure participants possess a foundational understanding of cybersecurity, with a $1,000 Amazon gift card awarded to the winner, sponsored by Tech ID Manager.
The structure of Cyber Melee includes qualifying questions to verify participants’ knowledge, followed by live scoring and commentary from judges, including Matt Lee and Matt Topper, who will provide insights into the complexities of security concepts. The discussion underscored the importance of MSPs for small and medium-sized businesses, which often lack sufficient cybersecurity resources, and acknowledged the need to recognize their efforts in integrating security into IT services.
