Gamification for a secure business: discover 3 benefits of Hacker Rangers, the gamified platform for raising awareness about cybersecurity and the general data protection law

There is no argument that an efficient data protection strategy goes hand in hand with raising cybersecurity awareness among company employees. And it's no coincidence that Brazil’s General Data Protection Law, or LGPD in Portuguese, emphasizes the importance of training employees in best practices related to information protection.

If you’re responsible for drawing up your company's data protection strategy, you know how difficult it is to establish the methodology and materials required for a successful project in the face of such wide-ranging priorities.

Imagine how much easier it would be if there was a comprehensive solution to initiate the mission of training your team to safely handle corporate information and customer, partner, and supplier data. Well, rest assured, because Hacker Rangers is at hand!

Hacker Rangers is a platform specialized in educating the human factor in information security and the nuances of Brazil’s general data protection law. Through gamification and nano learning, your company's employees learn to adopt a safe attitude in the online and offline world throughout their working day – and beyond!

Take a look at 3 benefits that Hacker Rangers can offer your company:

Gamification in the vein, motivation in the blood

The main pillar of Hacker Rangers is gamification, i.e. the art of applying the typical elements of games in contexts that, at first glance, may not seem that fun. 

Traditional training is often limited to extremely mechanical operations, such as a two-hour lecture or a fifty-page booklet, which ends up boring employees within the first five minutes.

At Hacker Rangers, things are a little different. To learn how to safeguard the company, employees take part in a friendly competition in the form of seasons. 

Employees are rewarded with a different badge for every mini-mission completed. They can also move up in the rankings, leveraging motivation and engagement in the process of learning about cybersecurity. 

There's nothing better – and more efficient – than learning while having fun, right?

Nano Learning: revolutionizing the learning process

According to several studies, the time human beings can remain fully focused on a single task is 18 minutes at most. 

Requiring employees to attend a two-hour lecture or read a fifty-page booklet won't keep your company safe. After all, in a matter of minutes, teams will lose focus and forget what they're learning.

That's why Hacker Rangers uses nano learning, a methodology whereby all educational content is provided in the form of small pills: watching a short video, answering a quiz, or completing a lightning challenge. At Hacker Rangers, it takes no more than 5 minutes to complete each of these tasks.

Employees thus have the time to concentrate fully on what they are learning and retain much more knowledge than with traditional training.

Far beyond compliance: creating a data protection culture

More than just learning the best cybersecurity practices, employees need to apply them daily. Cybercrime doesn't take a break, and to keep your company protected, employee awareness can't stop either. 

With Hacker Rangers, your team's cybersecurity education becomes an ongoing process, guaranteeing the construction of an in-house data protection culture. 

Safe habits become part of every employee's daily life, and they become real heroes and heroines who fight on the front line to protect the organization from cyberattacks.

A cybersecurity awareness program is the best defense against cyberattacks

Protecting networks, data and applications is fundamental. But even more important is teaching the human beings who interact with them. After all, 9 out of 10 cyberattacks against companies are aimed at personnel, not IT and cybersecurity systems (Artic Wolfs, 2022 Trends: The State of Cybersecurity). Users prepared to recognize threats become the main barrier against possible attacks. 

And you want to know the best part? The return on investment (ROI) of a cybersecurity awareness program can be as much as 69% for small companies and more than 562% for medium and large companies (Osterman Research, 2019).
