How CyberSecure Works: Players receive questions by avatars posing as medical staffers and must choose the correct response from multiple choice answers. By attempting to make the best choices to secure health information and protect IT assets, players aim for the top score over three rounds of play. Depending on how well they score, players will see enhancements made to their medical practices or see their practices suffer as a result of poor IT security decisions.
