About the KC7 Cyber Game

Traditional cybersecurity training and classes often start by teaching abstract concepts that don’t apply directly to real-world scenarios, and rarely give students the opportunity to approach these concepts in a hands-on way. This approach can cause students to lose interest and drop out before they even have a chance to understand the field. KC7, an online cybersecurity game built by threat intelligence experts who have years of experience studying advanced cyber adversaries, takes a different approach.

KC7 introduces cybersecurity concepts in a way that everyone from middle school students through adult learners can understand and get excited about. Players work as cybersecurity analysts to investigate a cyber intrusion against a fictitious organization. During the investigation, they encounter different attack types, capabilities, and frameworks, all while learning general cybersecurity concepts.
