How it works

Participants take on different roles within their organization — such as business owner, Data Protection Officer (DPO), IT or marketing/sales — and respond to a variety of cyber threats. Each game session unfolds through:

  • Attack and Defence cards – Refreshing foundational cybersecurity concepts to get teams warmed up for scenario role-play.

  • Scenario and Task cards – Presenting realistic cybersecurity incidents that are either common in organisations, such as ransomware, or emerging, such as AI-enabled attacks and guiding teams through best-practice responses aligned with CSA’s SG Cyber Safe programme.

  • Discussion and Reflection – Facilitating debrief sessions to analyze decisions, uncover gaps, and reinforce pre-emptive cybersecurity measures.

Why play?

  • Practice Incident Response: Improve preparedness by simulating cybersecurity threats before they happen.

  • Enhance Cross-Functional Collaboration: Strengthen teamwork across departments to ensure coordinated responses.

  • Boost Cyber Awareness: Equip employees with essential knowledge to recognize and mitigate risks effectively.

  • Align with Industry Standards: Learn and apply best practices from CSA’s Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust certification standards.

Who should play?

This game is perfect for SME business leaders, IT personnel, and non-technical employees alike — anyone who plays a role in safeguarding their organization’s digital assets.

Cyber threats are constantly evolving. Cyber Essentials in Action provides organisations with a hands-on approach to cybersecurity, empowering teams to stay ahead of risks.
