Episode Synopsis

At the 2025 CyberCon in Melbourne, Tony Nicholls from CGI Australia introduced a new concept - a cyber escape room housed in a shipping container. Originally developed in the UK to raise cyber awareness, the escape room gamifies cybersecurity education, targeting both novices and professionals. It offers a hands-on approach to learning about phishing, social engineering, and malware, promoting a no-shame, team-based environment ideal for schools and businesses alike. With the ability to adjust difficulty on the fly, participants of all ages leave with a better understanding of cybersecurity threats and defenses, with a smile on their face.
