Abstract: Cybersecurity education has been a challenge for organizations that rely heavily on digitization and automation. Despite the advent of technological advancements, human intervention still plays a significant role in mitigating increasingly complex cybersecurity threats. We have developed an interactive serious game to aid cybersecurity professionals by addressing two crucial aspects, that are: a) how to identify sophisticated phishing emails and b) threat hunting to detect insider threats using a simulated Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool. We have developed this game so that organizations can adapt it to their environment by creating custom scenarios.
