Description

Step into the shoes of a cybersecurity professional in this immersive cyber escape room experience. In this interactive session, you and your team will face a simulated crisis: a cyber attacker has breached your company’s defenses and is actively stealing sensitive data. Your mission? Work together to uncover the hacker’s username and password, track down the stolen files, and identify the type of information that has been compromised.

 

Designed to be approachable and fun for all skill levels, this session requires no technical experience. Along the way, you’ll pick up essential cybersecurity skills, such as creating strong passwords, spotting phishing attempts, understanding basic cryptography, and protecting sensitive data—all while racing against the clock.

 

This scenario challenges participants to think critically and collaborate effectively. A mysterious briefcase left behind by the attacker is filled with cryptic clues and hidden messages. To thwart the hacker’s plans, you’ll need to crack the codes, follow the breadcrumbs, and ultimately secure your organization’s most valuable information.

Can your team outsmart the hacker and prevent a data breach?
