Importance

Why is Cybersecurity Important?

To prevent material loss, data breaches, identity thefts & cyber attacks, improving security and safety on the internet.
By providing training, we help individuals and organizations not only react to attacks but also prevent them from happening in the first place

74% organizations provide some form of cybersecurity awareness training to their employees each year!

Problem

Understanding Traditional Cybersecurity Training's flaws

Cybersecurity training isn’t broken because people don’t care. It’s broken because we expect people to remember slides and rules, instead of giving them experiences and instincts.

64% don’t pay full attention during these sessions

Improvement 

Why Gamification?

Active Participation
Gamification encourages learners to actively participate in the training, instead of passively watching videos or answering multiple-choice questions

Increased Retention
Games offer a way to repetition in a fun way, leading to better retention of key concepts.

Engaging Environment
Through immersive environments, such as inspecting phishing emails, players are more likely to remember the material because it feels like real-life application.
