“Fun” isn’t a word most people would associate with cybersecurity.

But for AckTao CEO and Co-Founder Cecile Maye, it’s a critical factor in empowering others in their digital lives. And she’ll be demonstrating how engagement equals retention, as she exhibits AckTao in Booth 61433 of the Swiss Tech pavilion in CES® 2023’s Eureka Park® startup area!

Switzerland-based educational technology startup AckTao has created an advanced cloud-gaming digital education program. Participants “play” in different scenarios which educate them on digital security risks.

A scenario might take you into an airport store. Or perhaps a restaurant, workshop or office setting. There’s even an application for those who work at home. And the system is customized, through AI, to adapt to a user’s answers and level of understanding in real time.

Areas which AckTao’s library of scenarios cover include phishing, cyber resilience, password security–and much more.

From experience, AckTao is engaging. We did the airport scenario and were curious to see our scores. One situation (no spoilers here, but it’s a common one at airports, or in public in general!), came as a complete surprise: “Wow, that’s a cybersecurity risk, too?” And we were excited to see our scores!

Cecile shared the story of AckTao, explained some of the “everyday” cybersecurity risks which the general public can face and discussed the areas in which she’d most like to grow, in the future.
