NOVA Labs – Cybersecurity Lab

I stumbled upon a little jewel yesterday when I found PBS Presents: The Secret Lives of Hackers. The video is nicely done, but what’s more is the website that the video was originally posted on. PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, has a cybersecurity lab on their NOVA site.

The game allows you to defend a company that is the target of increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks. Your task is to strengthen your cyber defenses and thwart the attackers by completing a series of cybersecurity challenges. You’ll crack passwords, craft code, and defeat malicious hackers. How cool is that? Aside from that, they have Cybersecurity Video Quizzes, and a video library.

The game is actually quite fun and I recommend it for not just National Cyber Security Awareness Month, but for general information security employee awareness.
