Lesson 13: How to Identify and Mitigate Cyber Threats
In this activity, you will get a taste of how cybersecurity involves
thinking about possible attacks.
There are two kinds of teams: Red Team and Blue Team
The Red Teams: you are trying to find out the secret information
that the Blue Teams have
The Blue Teams: you will be in possession of some secret
information which you must guard from the Red Teams
