An international airport is under cyberattack. Do you have what it takes to prevent the attackers from shutting airport systems down with ransomware? Experience an intense, realistic cyber breach video game in “Cybersecurity Ops: Terminal.”

It’s the busiest travel time of the year and cybercriminals are attempting to shut down the airport with ransomware. Your job is to respond decisively to protect the airport’s systems, prevent the cybercriminals from taking control, and minimize the impact and keep the airport running. Terminal puts you in the hot seat for three different roles: an IT analyst, a manager, and an executive. Each role has different responsibilities and increasingly difficult decisions to make as the cyberattack escalates. Feel the pressure, make the tough calls. It’s all up to you.
