Security awareness game (spot the threat)
Why Choose This Project?
Human error is the #1 cause of cybersecurity breaches (e.g., clicking phishing links, downloading malware). Traditional training is boring and ineffective. A gamified security awareness tool makes learning fun while improving the ability to detect real threats. This project engages users through an interactive "Spot the Threat" game that simulates real-world attack scenarios.
