To enhance cybersecurity skills on campus, the Division of Information Technology creates an online game each October in recognition of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. This year's game, "Aggie LIFE," tested players' knowledge on phishing, online shopping, identity theft and more.
Over 42,000 games were played during the two-week period. The top ten scorers received a Yubikey for Duo NetID Two-Factor Authentication and were entered into a drawing for an Apple Watch. All players received their choice of a free day of play at Nerdvana Vintage Arcade & Toys, frozen yogurt from Yogurtland, or a 12th Man Towel from Aggieland Outfitters. Sophomore Kelvin Wang won the Apple Watch.
At the completion of the contest, area schools were invited to play the game and learn about cybersecurity.
