The Security Onion

The Security Onion started as a simple idea to see what I could learn whilst working with modern day A.I. and I very quickly discovered that the creativity barrier can be smashed into pieces. Now the hobby project is an eco system of engaging themed games aimed around Cyber Security.

Players create a free account which is the way to access the games as a SSO authentication layer .  Starting with Threat Command players engage each day answering IT related questions, earning in-game currency of Compute Cycles (CC).  Players use their CC to affect security layers in an Attackers vs Defenders game during a weekly event, leveraging in game tools and varied meta game elements.   

Digital Duel is a recent gem of TSO’s eco system which is an asynchronous card battler allowing players to use their earned CC to build decks of themed cards and take turns battling other players.  Perhaps playing the Social Engineering card for penetrating damge, as long as the opponent has not nullified its effects with the SAAT Training card first.  Or flipping your defence value into attack points with the Zero Trust Layer, there are various ways to play.

Other titles in the eco system are there further the enjoyment and education all following the theme, a survival shooter, typing challenge and stratergy merge game. 

With a Play to win approach you can earn Compute Cycles via game engagement.
