Cybersecurity defense

Cybercriminals are adapting fast—and the defense sector is a high-value target. Military organizations manage highly sensitive data, classified operations, and mission-critical systems. Combined with complex structures and global communication flows, this makes them especially vulnerable to cyber threats.

Cybersecurity awareness game

Traditional cybersecurity training often lacks the urgency and realism defense teams need. Cyber Crime Game changes the game. It turns awareness into a hands-on, mission-based simulation tailored for the armed forces.

One of the most dangerous threats? “Commander fraud.” Using deepfake technology and AI-powered voice phishing (vishing), attackers impersonate high-ranking officers. One message can lead to unauthorized data transfer, the wrong tactical decision, or compromised operations.

The Game

In Cyber Crime Game, you become the attacker. Your mission: infiltrate your own defense unit for ransom. You manipulate your team, exploit operational blind spots, and simulate high-pressure decisions—within a secure, controlled environment.

The game consists of 8 modular levels and a final awareness exam, fully customized to reflect defense-specific challenges. Here are four example levels:

  • #1 – Reconnaissance & Research: How much intelligence can be gathered through open sources? From LinkedIn to press releases and deployment photos—how exposed is your unit?
  • #3 – Phishing: An email from “[email protected]” asks for urgent clearance confirmation. It looks official. Can your personnel tell the difference?
  • #6 – Command & Control: Tailgating is simulated using real visuals of your base or facility. A disguised intruder enters unnoticed during shift change. Would anyone spot it?
  • #7 – Actions on objectives: A deepfake voice recording from central command demands immediate file access. Would your team verify—or execute under pressure?
