Development of a Gamified Cybersecurity Training Platform for Large Enterprises

The organization faces challenges in effectively reducing cybersecurity risks by engaging a large and diverse employee base. Current training methods are often ineffective, lacking interactivity and user engagement, leading to low confidence and awareness among staff. Scaling traditional training solutions to large user volumes, managing extensive data, and integrating with various third-party services presents additional technical hurdles.

A large enterprise organization seeking to enhance cybersecurity awareness among employees through engaging, human-centric training experiences.
