An educational online training that creates and reinforces correct habits of safe behavior in cyberspace, corporate networks, the office, or for home office. Clashing helps you increase the information and cyber security of your company or organization and protect your valuable assets – your data and know-how. Get your employees to play Clashing and don’t give hackers a chance.
Clashing is fun. And it has been proven that people learn best and with least effort through things that entertain them. Repeated play strengthens and automates the right responses. Therefore, in case of a real threat, their response is faster and correct.
Clashing uses real-life situations that most of your employees have already experienced. The security training game focuses not only on working from your office, but also on safe remote work – be it from a cafe or from home.
Every employee can take on the role of an attacker when playing Clashing training. This point of view gives them a better perspective and reinforces the right habits. They can also choose whether they want to play against a colleague or the computer.
I have personally given gamification activities quite a lot of attention in the past few years. Clashing was the first project that really grabbed my attention. It combines accessibility with a professional approach to the topic. We are currently testing the game with a substantial number of employees. We see that they mostly enjoy the experience. The results of our testing and flexibility of the solution enables us to stay on track of our plan to replace cyber security e-learning with a platform that motivates employees to think about the topic and not just click-through what is necessary.
We decided for Clashing this year as a way of effectively replacing traditional tests used to verify the acquired knowledge of employees after cyber security training has taken place. In practice, it works by having each employee undergo instructor-led training, which is concluded interactively using the Clashing tool. This way, employees can test each other to find out whether they are able to protect the organisation or, conversely, try out the role of a hacker. I can sincerely recommend this fun form of training.
This is our second year of training employees with the educational game Clashing. Although it isn’t mandatory training, almost 60% of employees take part every time, which we consider a great success. The training appeals to employees primarily for the chance to fight simulated hacking attacks and the game’s great graphics. Employees come away from the training with a feeling that security procedures are worth observing. Clashing now comes with the simpler alternative of training without duels and I believe that this variety will allow us to successfully involve the remaining 40% of our employees in the next quarter.
It’s not just your usual boring training. Clashing provides a playful way for your employees to learn about cyber security; it’s effective, does not take up much time and allows for a varying degree of engagement by your participants – the players. Most of my colleagues found this method to be better than our current solution.
As part of our transformation, we had been looking fora suitable digital tool to help us increase cyber security awareness among our employees. Clashing’s playful teaching method intrigued us. Employees do not even realize that they are learning. In 2022, we even managed to include Clashing into our annual education plan. To spice up the process, employees can also take part in a voluntary summer tournament. That is another element of Clashing that we enjoy – it connects our employees across continents.
The school by play concept is hundreds of years old. The gamification of processes through technology has been around for a while as well. That’s why I’m delighted to finally see a good domestic solution that is not only functional, but also well designed. I can only recommend it!
(Clashing) is well made – not just due its design (which is traditionally the most problematic part), but also its choice of topic – if you don’t know anything (or very little) about information/cyber security, this is a great way to learn a lot of practical stuff.
It has a great design. Every card (both offensive and defensive) offers insights and information that help you better understand what happened/is happening and why. I don’t know if this was deliberate, but some of the actions and moves are not 100% obvious. Personally, I believe it should be like this. If action-reaction were immediately clear, it would be not only boring, but also predictable. Clashing by Anect is certainly a great piece of work.
The only thing you need to play Clashing is a web browser and the Internet. Then you just import the list of your employees to the admin interface and assign them selected training modules.
You can adjust the game to better reflect your company’s needs: you can edit additional information to every threat or skip situations that are not relevant to you. You can also assign different situations to your employees based on their role in the company.
The game can be played in international teams. It is currently available in Czech, Slovak and English, but we are working on more language versions. On top of this, every employee can play in their own language while playing against each other.
The game’s admins can monitor players’ activities and see their results. Reporting also reveals how employees did in their duels.
Clashing is compliant with relevant legal requirements and norms (e.g. ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST etc.), and could replace traditional training tools. Forget boring training, get your employees to play Clashing and don’t give hackers a chance.
Two employees play against each other (one as a hacker/attacker, the other as defender), or each can play against the computer. Having both points of view helps them understand why certain behavior is risky and how it can be exploited.
8 language versions are available: English, German, Czech, French, Hungarian, Polish, Slovak, Nederlands, Bulgarian.
Not at all. Clashing is designed for everyone. It can be easily played by your accountant who is otherwise not interested in computer games at all.
The game currently offers the following scenarios: Office, Out-of-Office, Desktop & Mobile, Home-Office and Internet & Social networks, Phishing, Data Protection, Healthcare. New scenarios are coming soon!
One game takes approximately 15 minutes, so it’s easy to play during the lunch break. At the same time employees can play repeatedly or pause the game and come back later whenever they need.
Clashing can be used only as a classic cyber security training in the Basic plan. You will comply with all regulations. Or you can use Clashing in its Advanced plan and you'll get so much more. Details (add link Plans).
