Human error is the primary way hackers infiltrate organisations’ computer systems, comprising 95% of breaches^. Whether accidental or deliberate, these mistakes are costly, tallying $33 billion for Aussie businesses last financial year*.
It is far too easy for a staff member to click the wrong link or write a password on a post-it note that gets into the wrong hands when general cyber awareness is lacking across an organisation. This is why effective education to develop awareness to drive behavioural change is so crucial to mitigate the risks.
The problem is that most traditional training methods are an arduous, highly forgettable process that drains staff patience more than empowers them to retain crucial lessons.
Layer 8 Cyber Escape Rooms are a unique approach to educating staff with a scientifically proven formula that enables staff to gain and retain the knowledge presented. We facilitate enjoyable team-building activities that improve knowledge retention and create change through immersive gamification of cyber awareness learning.
Our virtual and physical Cyber Escape Rooms present fun puzzles and tasks for a team to collaboratively ‘escape.’
With over 5,000 participants completing an escape room and gaining their Level 1 of Layer 8’s Cyber Awareness certification process, it is a tried and true means to level up any organisation’s cyber security awareness.
Is your organisation operating from a specific physical location, or have you pivoted to the comforts of flexible and remote work? Regardless of your situation, Layer 8 can provide your team with an immersive and invaluable team-building experience that caters to your unique requirements.
Our Cyber Escape Rooms are a proven interactive learning method for ensuring staff retain valuable cyber security knowledge and habits.
Sessions are a fully customised, fun team-building activity to achieve together.
Our facilitators will visit your site, set up the chosen escape room activities and deliver an immersive educational experience.
We can even customise the themes, goals and chosen location to fit your team’s interests and objectives!
For virtual or dispersed workforces, we offer a virtualised version of our escape rooms that provides all the value of our physical escape rooms without the need to consider staff logistics and travel.
We provide a variety of themes or customised options that are tailored to your organisation’s specific needs and interests.
Our Layer 8 Security experts facilitate these virtual sessions via Microsoft Teams to ensure easy access, collaboration and immersive fun for your team from anywhere.
While our Escape Rooms are fun-filled and immersive activities for your team, they are scientifically crafted to embed key learnings around risk mitigation. These lessons are easily retained by your team long into the future and, unlike traditional training sessions – are not so readily forgotten.
This ensures the knowledge is put into practice by your team and induces organisational cyber-aware behavioural change, which is the most crucial step in securing any organisation from cyber threats.
We have many different types of games available for both on premises and remote teams, not just Escape Rooms, including Game Shows, Treasure Hunts, and even customised themes of your choosing. By participating in these games, your staff will not only enhance their knowledge, but they will have fun doing it as well.
