Our online presence is growing, making Cyber Security awareness more important. As new technologies emerge, cyber criminals also develop new ways to target individuals' and companies' data. Staying safe online isn’t just a slogan anymore, it’s a necessity. To encourage UNSW students to be more aware of their actions online, UNSW has built this app to further increase awareness of common Cyber Security threats and counter measures that can be taken. A.L.I.C.E is a retro style 2D platform side scrolling game, with enemies to zap, puzzles to solve, and an overall learning experience.
