Infiltrate a fictitious company by exploiting its security flaws
Each team plays the hackers and discovers, through play, how simple actions can change an organisation's level of security.
- Objective
- Get into the server room
- Route
- 6 environments to progress through
- Search
- 2 physical areas with clues and objects
- Approach
- Learning through experience and immersion
Awareness becomes a mission you live through
Classic training is often seen as too theoretical and not very engaging. Turn cyber awareness into an immersive, memorable experience.
In CTRL+HACK+ESC, participants become hackers for a day. They exploit security flaws arising from weak passwords, unlocked computers, phishing and infected USB sticks, among others.
By experiencing cybercriminals' tactics from the inside, participants build reflexes that stick better than after a classic awareness session.
90%
of successful cyberattacks are due to human error.
Briefing, immersion and a teaching debrief
The full session lasts an hour and a half. A SecuLabs cybersecurity expert runs the game.
Step 1 · Briefing
Discover the scenario
Participants learn about the mission, the rules of play and the objectives before the game starts.
Step 2 · Game
Make your way through the company
Teams have 60 minutes to get through the rooms, search for clues and exploit the flaws they find.
Step 3 · Debriefing
Link the game to real risks
The facilitator goes back over the mistakes, gauges what the group has learnt and identifies the points that need more attention.
Clues, objects and flaws to exploit
Participants explore 2 physical search areas, examine hidden clues, confidential documents and booby-trapped objects, then make their way through the fictitious company by exploiting its security flaws.
As they explore, they face many security issues that help them build lasting reflexes.
- Strong passwords
- Spotting phishing
- Locking workstations
- Document confidentiality
- Securing the workplace
- Booby-trapped objects
- Personal information and privacy
Participants build awareness through practice
Switching perspective puts participants in the attackers' shoes, so they better understand the risks and the consequences of human error.
