This cool virtual cybersecurity competition puts players into real-life scenarios with simulated experiences, such as being a cybersecurity analyst at a police station when hackers infiltrate the city's networks.
Players have to prove their knowledge and skills by performing tasks to track down the hackers. Some tasks include grabbing metadata from an image, or tracking where the hackers have been, or analyzing log files, to identify who infiltrated data from the police station's network!
