"Healthcare Workers Stop Active Hacker in Cybertruck"

Researchers at the University of Twente looked at whether a simulation of a cyberattack in an escape room could contribute to a greater awareness of cybersecurity. Healthcare facility employees participated in the study. The escape room was found to increase cybersecurity awareness among healthcare employees. For example, participants reported being more alert regarding phishing, installing software updates, and using strong passwords. Acute Zorg Euregio (AZE), a regional network of organizations involved in acute care, arranged the escape room. A cybersecurity incident, such as a ransomware attack, can jeopardize such care. Therefore, healthcare employees must be aware of potential cyber risks and be prepared for a cyber crisis. The escape room took place in a converted trailer called a cybertruck where the objective was to create and increase cybersecurity awareness among healthcare workers through an interactive game. This article continues to discuss the study involving an escape room simulation of a cyberattack.
