Written by BAS | May 3, 2018 12:00:00 PM

While its hardly Fortnite or Candy Crush, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology's (ONC) Office of the Chief Privacy Officer (OCPO) has released an online security training game called CyberSecure: Your Medical Practice.

The game takes users through five animated rounds or “levels” addressing privacy and security matters. The user must answer questions to gain points from the game. If a correct response is selected, the gamer earns points and sees their medical practice grow. If an incorrect response is selected, the wrong decision leads to events such as floods, power outages, damages, etc.

Employers may want to share the game with their workforce members who have access to protected health information or have security responsibilities. It is a fun method of learning about security risks.
