Published purpose

Chief Information Officers and Chief Security Officers recognize that cyber attacks on their enterprise are a very real and very expensive problem. Employees are highly susceptible to attacks such as phishing and social engineering, and CIOs need ways to make them aware of these potential risks. Current approaches to improving employee awareness (e.g eLearning, classroom education) are not effective or scalable. This project will build a gamified cyber awareness learning platform which increases employee engagement and awareness retention. The solution is SaaS-based and is highly configurable, customizable, and scalable. Improved employee engagement makes enterprises more secure, and mitigates risk from employee-targeted cyber attacks.
