Why an escape room for cybersecurity awareness?
Traditional cybersecurity training, often characterized by dry presentations, can defeat its purpose. Fendix takes a different approach with the "Take Back Control" escape box developed by LeisureTeam. This game transforms cybersecurity training into an interactive experience. It is designed to actively teach employees about the severity of phishing, ransomware and more while working as a team to solve the challenges.
How does the Cybersecurity Awareness Escape Room work?
The game starts with the arrival of Fendix's host at your location, followed by an hour of intensive puzzling and collaboration. Each group, from four to eight people, gets its own table and laptop on which the game is played. The goal? To stop the hacker within 60 minutes and secure your organization.
