The Game Boards

The game boards represent the organisation that the game players must consider the possible threats and defences to protect the organisation data and services. The game board can be tailored to a scenario that the players are familiar within their organisation. The game supports three different game boards: Office Diagram (see figure 1), Network Diagram (see figure 2) and Data Flow Diagrams (see figure 3). The game can be played with one or more of these types of game boards.
