Our take
CyberStart Limited (previously known as Helical Levity) built CyberStart, a gamified cyber security platform for young adults. The 100% online learning platform is designed to teach complex security concepts while promoting self-guided exploration and investigation over traditional learning tropes.
In the game, students take on the role of an agent in the cyber protection agency through which they can hack and code-break their way through levels filled with rich narrative, immersive design and realistic security labs.
Each challenge is based on historical real-world cyber-attacks, security breaches, and other cybersecurity scenarios. The aim is that through playing CyberStart, youngsters can acquire valuable cyber-self-defence skills that will help protect them while online.
So far, the platform has been used in national programmes by over 200,000 students in both the US and UK. As cyber-security becomes a more prominent component of business risk, CyberStart Limited are positioned well to train the next generation in bridging this knowledge gap.
