What Crypt0 is about
Alex Lee is an analyst, ethical hacker and private detective with a job in London: pose as an employee at a biotechnology company and find its IT security holes. His gut instinct soon confirms the worst: all of the company's confidential information has been seriously compromised.
Over the video game's five levels, you help Alex detect, analyze and fix the careless mistakes cybercriminals exploit to get their hands on company data. Passwords, email, public Wi-Fi, mobile devices, social media: each situation shows you the part you play in the security chain.
No technical background needed. This is cybersecurity training for employees who are less familiar with the subject, with simulators and feedback so you can practice without risk.
