The Security
Onion Games

Interactive cybersecurity experiences that layer defense strategies, teaching through gameplay with strategic thinking.

About The Security Onion

Created by an IT professional venturing into artificial intelligence, The Security Onion represents the idea around cybersecurity, like an onion, requires multiple protective layers working together—there's never just one solution for impenetrable defense.

This ongoing project showcases the powerful collaboration between human creativity and AI capabilities. Through careful prompt engineering, iterative refinement, and strategic AI integration, we've created engaging educational experiences that make cybersecurity concepts accessible through interactive gameplay.
