Description
The project started as a EU collaboration project that sought to develop a training universe for 5G cyber security. As part of this I/we was asked to create a simulation-based game teaching players about cyber security strategies. The game is a a-symetrical 1v1 multiplayer game that focuses on providing a practical training of cyber security strategy and management. It can be played by newcomers to cyber security who is supported by an extensive Wiki, technical personel wanting to exlore tactics and management as well as training for existing managers.
