From deception and scandal to rogue access points and fake identities, things got suspicious fast at the Château de Sécurité. What started as a story about cybersecurity became an immersive Capture-the-Flag mystery experience built for partners ready to step into the halls, follow the clues, and uncover the gaps hiding in plain sight.
The investigation may be over, but the next chapter is just beginning.
Get ready to meet Cole Turner, the Château’s newest character and Pax8 Security Coach.
Inside the Château de Sécurité Investigation
The Château de Sécurité invited partners into a mystery where every clue pointed to a deeper security lesson. Through the Capture-the-Flag challenge, players followed suspicious activity, decoded hidden messages, uncovered risky behavior, and investigated the vulnerabilities that put the hotel at risk.
Each twist tied back to real-world security challenges MSPs face every day, including access control, asset visibility, threat monitoring, user behavior, and response readiness.
More importantly, it showed how the right strategy, framework, and guidance can help close those gaps before they become bigger problems.
Security Coaching through Pax8 Academy is designed for partners who want to build confidence, strengthen their security offerings, and take a more strategic approach to cybersecurity without having to figure it all out on their own.
That’s where Cole Turner comes in.
As the Château’s new security coach, Cole represents the next phase of the journey: Moving from investigation to action. He brings the practical guidance, structure, and expert perspective partners need to build smarter security practices and deliver more value to their clients.
Because solving the mystery is one thing. Building a stronger security strategy from the lessons learned? That’s where the real transformation begins.
Six Steps to Stronger Security
Security Coaching gives partners a clear path forward through six key milestones:
Each step meets partners where they are and helps them move toward a stronger, more scalable security practice.
For some partners, that means building a CIS-aligned framework. For others, it means creating a stronger offer, improving operational readiness, or learning how to sell security with more confidence.
Security Coaching provides the guidance partners need to achieve these outcomes by turning proven strategies into a customized, executable plan.
