Buy ThreatGen: Red vs. Blue PC key

ThreatGEN: Red vs. Blue is a turn-based cybersecurity strategy simulator in which you compete for control of a computer network. You choose actions from a menu rather than using command-line tools or writing code, and no technical skills are required to play. The game is designed to teach and let you practice fundamental cybersecurity concepts and strategy, not advanced skills.

Red team and blue team

You can play as the red team, attacking systems, or the blue team, defending them. As red, you learn how hackers think, operate and attack; as blue, you explore cybersecurity controls, technologies, methods and strategies. The simulation focuses on how these elements work together in a broader strategy. It is designed for education and can be challenging, with less guidance and fewer familiar gameplay conveniences than a standard game.

Game modes

Play alone against the computer AI, compete online one-on-one, or play locally in hot-seat mode on a shared screen. Cross-platform multiplayer is supported.

Learning resources

The game includes real-world cybersecurity advice and hints, configurable settings, and an in-game wiki covering gameplay concepts and instructions alongside cybersecurity definitions and concepts. A comprehensive game guide is also available.
