Every October, organizations across the country recognize Cybersecurity Awareness Month— but too often, the effort becomes a box-checking exercise. Employees skim a few slides, click through an online module, and move on without truly changing their behaviors. At DC Edge, we believe awareness should be engaging, memorable, and impactful.
That’s why we’ve partnered with an industry leader to bring you Virtual Cyber Escape Rooms—a fun, interactive way to teach critical cybersecurity skills. Instead of passively watching or reading, your team steps into a high-energy challenge where they must collaborate, solve puzzles, and outsmart a hacker.
