Cybersecurity skills for Europeans
When
Where
As our lives increasingly bleed into the digital world, cyber threats become much more than phishing emails, odd text messages and suspicious links. In today’s interconnected world, cyber security is not only individual, but also societal and global concern.
We all need the ability to securely navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape. The Cyber Citizen initiative lowers the threshold of learning about cybersecurity through a game providing an engaging way to learn crucial skills and a portal offering centralised knowledge for all. Through education, awareness and interactive tools, the project wants to make the internet safer for Europeans.
The demo version of the Cyber City Tycoon game is available in Finland for free on Android mobile phones. The game will be officially launched in November 2024 in all 24 EU languages.
