You want your friends and relatives to be better equipped to protect themselves from cyberattacks online. But cybersecurity training courses are becoming a grind. We can help. Secureworks wants to see how far you can push your imagination to build any game that teaches any information security idea in a fun and engaging way.
At Secureworks, we protect thousands of organizations with battle-tested, best-in-class cybersecurity solutions, but technology alone won’t defend against today’s cyberattacks. Education is critical to a great cyber defense. To that end, we’re offering prizes to those who can develop games that improve cybersecurity literacy.
Home: How can a game promote personal cybersecurity? Build a project for family, friends, or other non-professional end users.
Work: How can a game promote cybersecurity for organizations? Build a project for professional and workplace end users.
To get you started, we’ve gathered some resources on cybersecurity concepts, training, and tips for strategy. We’re also available to help on the Devpost Discord during office hours so you can bring your most compelling ideas to life.
For over two decades our mission has been to secure human progress. And every day, every hour, and every minute, our team of experts – armed with our Secureworks Taegis™ advanced technology platform – fight the adversary so our customers can rest easy knowing their mission-critical assets are safe from threat actors.
What to Build: Help promote cyber literacy and information security by building a fun and engaging game or entertainment app to educate the users.
What to Submit:
– Provide a URL to your publicly available application for judging and testing or a link to your functioning game.
– Include a video (about 3 minutes) that demonstrates your submission. Videos must be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook Video and made public.
