Targeted Attacks

The Game
With all bad things in life, we like to believe that “it will never happen to us”. Unfortunately the reality of targeted attacks against commercial organizations is such that many in the security world are characterizing it as a “when” rather than an “if”.
With Targeted Attack: The Game, Trend Micro wants to put you in the driving seat. You are the CIO of a global organization called The Fugle, on the verge of making the first release of a biometrically authenticated mobile payment app. You will steer the project through its final stages, dealing with your internal security team, your colleagues in Marketing and PR and of course your CEO.
There are many competitors and individuals out there who would love to get their hands on the data held by your organization at such a critical time. Can you make the right choices? Can you keep the project on time and on budget? Can you protect your company from attack?
Based on the format of the old “Choose Your Own Adventure” books, the game offers you the chance to step into someone else’s shoes and find out if you’re good enough to come out on top.
