- Sustainable transfer This knowledge has a direct impact on day-to-day working life.
Hack the System: When the team becomes the security department
Thinking about cyber security together
Hack the System is a cyber security team event in which teams experience, through realistic scenarios, how digital attacks work and how they can work together to protect themselves against them. In an interconnected world, cyber security isn’t just a matter for the IT department. It affects everyone. That’s why this event makes the topic tangible and provides a hands-on experience for the whole team. Participants take on the role of hackers and work together to expose the security vulnerabilities of the fictional ‘Leichtsinn Ltd’.
Phishing, Passwords and Fake Wi-Fi
Throughout the event, the teams navigate realistic scenarios. They draft credible phishing emails and realise just how easily people fall for such attacks. They crack weak passwords and simulate the use of a fake Wi-Fi network. They also learn how chatbots deceive users and how information from social media can be exploited for attacks. This highlights how human error makes systems vulnerable and how every member of the team can help minimise such risks.
A GPS game with real depth
The event takes the form of a GPS-based game. Teams navigate to various stations, solve puzzles and develop strategies together. This interactive approach ensures that what has been learnt sticks in the memory. At the same time, the game format guarantees genuine fun and high levels of motivation. In this way, cyber security transforms from an abstract topic into a tangible experience that has an impact beyond the event itself.
Talking Security: Security as a topic of conversation
After the event, cyber security is no longer a topic discussed solely in the meeting room. Participants apply the insights they have gained to their day-to-day work. This creates a lasting effect that makes the entire company more secure. After all, security does not begin with technology. It begins with people.
