The Horst Görtz Foundation hosted on October, 16th 2016 for the 6th time the German IT-Security Price (Deutscher IT-Sicherheitspreis). A jury of acknowledged IT-security experts from industry and academia chose among 45 contenders the most market-relevant innovations for IT-security.
The jury rewarded our solution with the 3rd place.

Our solutions are based on our research results. We analyze, evaluate and publish our foundational research and develop services and products based on these results.
For this purpose, we collaborate with leading universities and research institutes in Germany and worldwide e.g. UK and China.
Evaluation of the Serious Game Hatch
We have evaluated our game scientifically. The study was conducted with full-time employees with an academic degree of various companies and students. Overall 250 players participated in our study.
The significant majority of all players have stated that they increased their knowledge about social engineering, have elicited new threats and even that they could apply the gained knowledge in their daily work.

HATCH
Core part of our training is the card game HATCH (Hack and Trick Capricious Humans) which teaches everyone to identify and prevent Social Engineering attacks (which attack for example as telco service staff and motivate the installation of malware).
Our simple rules and content allow players to understand the foundation of social engineering during training. We have invented HATCH based on our common research interest and continue to evolve our solution with the help of collaborations with leading academic institutions.
We offer trainings concerning all topics focusing on the human factor in cyber security. Our trainings motivate to participate and are designed for non-security experts.
Furthermore, we offer coaching for CISOs and IT-security experts with the focus on raising interest in security topics of all employees.
We support you in analyzing the data collected while playing our serious game. The data allows us to identify precise threats regarding social engineering for your company.
We consult you with freely available information regarding threats for your company that are relevant and how these should be prioritized based on the results of the card game.
After a number of trainings and analysis have been conducted and results exist, we offer advice on your longterm training strategy for your company including the identification of security metrics and success measurements for your training.
We support integrating the trainings in your security management approach including support for documentation and quality control.
THREAT-ARREST (Cyber Security Threats and Threat Actors Training – Assurance Driven Multi-Layer, end-to-end Simulation and Training) is a three-year research and innovation project receiving funding from the EU Commission (4,988,837.50€). It aims to address the ever-expanding landscape of advanced cyber attacks and to mitigate these attacks through advanced security training. THREAT-ARREST will develop a training platform to adequately prepare stakeholders with different types of responsibilities and levels of expertise in defending high-risk cyber systems and organisations to counter advanced, known and new cyber attacks. The effectiveness of the platform will be validated from technical, legal and business perspectives through real cyber systems pilots in the areas of smart energy, healthcare, and shipping. The SEA GmbH is contributing Serious Games for social engineering defence for the integrated Threat Arrest platform.
The project, which started on 1 September, is being carried out by a Consortium of 15 partners, including the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas, Simplan, Sphynx Technology Solutions, the University of Milano, Atos, IBM Israel Science and Technology, Social Engineering Academy, Information Technology for Market Leadership, Technical University Braunschweig, CZ.NIC Association, Danaos Shipping Co, TÜV Hellas (TÜV Nord), Agenzia Regionale Sanitaria della Puglia, and Bird & Bird.
The THREAT-ARREST project is financed by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union under Grant Agreement number: 786890.
