How do you organise a cybersecurity tournament between a company’s departments?

Set a goal, form teams by department, plan two or three weeks of play, then launch an online tournament that everyone plays in a few minutes from a mobile. With Brain Security, Cyber Cup provides the game, a link to share and a live ranking, individual and by nickname: Brain does not calculate a score per department. To compare departments, create one competition per department or ask everyone to put their department in their nickname; the final can be played on a Brain Arcade cabinet.

A tournament, not one more module

The idea is to get people who rarely meet to play, with a simple stake: the pride of playing with colleagues. The goal stays participation, not the podium. To put numbers on the effect afterwards, the page on measuring the effectiveness of a programme details the metrics. For an on-site event with an arcade cabinet, see the Cabinet and cyber tournament page.

The nine steps, and what Brain provides

StepWhat to doWhat Brain provides
GoalPick a single aim, for example getting as many people as possible to play, and announce it.A conversation with our team to settle the games and the calendar
Teams by departmentOne captain per department. Ask players to put their department name in their nickname.No account for players: a nickname is enough; one competition per department if you want separate rankings
CalendarTwo or three weeks of play, with a clear start date and end date.Super Challenge switches on at a set date from the console; Cyber Cup is shared with a link
Themes and rulesThemes that speak to everyone, and rules in a few lines: duration, number of lives, rounds.Cyber Cup: running order, lives, duration, scoring mode, your own question bank. Super Challenge: cyber, AI or mixed universe
LaunchSend the link or QR code with a message from management or the CISO.A link or QR code to share; the questions are already there, your teams play within the minute
Live rankingShow the ranking in the foyer, on the intranet or on a video call to keep the rivalry going.An individual ranking, by nickname, that shows live; Brain does not calculate a score per department

Prize-givingHand out the prizes in front of everyone and also recognise the most participative department.The final ranking, to display during the prize-giving
ReviewShare the figures with management and the teams, then announce the next edition.Participation, ranking, progress by theme, CSV or XLSX exports to present to your executive committee

Three rules to bring everyone in

A short game: a round lasts a minute or five, not an hour. Rules that fit in a few lines, read by all. Visible results: a ranking people can see beats a reminder email. The ranking is individual, by nickname: to spotlight a department, compare its participation in the exports of a dedicated competition.

Keeping the momentum after the tournament

A tournament is a key moment. Between two key moments, small doses keep reflexes sharp: a short Super Challenge, or Chat with Jack in Slack and Microsoft Teams (Google Chat coming soon), by appointment. Plan the next edition as soon as the review is done, while people are still keen.

Frequently asked questions

The game is ready right away: you create the competition, the questions are already there, you share a link. The preparation is mostly the goal, the teams and the dates. A conversation with our team is enough to settle the games and the calendar.

No. The online tournament runs on its own: a link, a mobile or a computer, nothing to install. The cabinet is an option for the final or to make an impression in the foyer; the Cabinet and cyber tournament page gives the details.

Players have no account to create: a nickname is enough. The ranking is individual, by nickname, and Brain does not calculate a score per department. To compare departments you have two options: create one competition per department, each with its own ranking, then compare participation in the exports; or ask everyone to put their department in their nickname, for example FIN-Lynx or HR-Panda.

Figures, not an impression: participation, ranking, progress by theme, with CSV or XLSX exports. They show how many played and where players are improving.
