صقر — لعبة محاكاة الدعم التقني وأمن المعلومات تخيّل أنك موظف الدعم التقني في الخطوط الأمامية. الحوادث تصل واحدة تلو الأخرى: كلمة مرور منسية، جهاز معطّل، نشاط مشبوه، تنبيه من نظام الحماية… ومهمتك أن تتخذ القرار الصحيح قبل أن ينفد الوقت أو تنهار الوردية. في كل حادثة أمامك أربعة قرارات: حقّق: لست متأكداً؟ انبش أعمق أولاً. صعّد: أكبر من صلاحيتك؟ مرّره للأعلى. عالج: إصلاح بسيط؟ تولَّ الأمر الآن. تجاهل: ليست مشكلة؟ تخطَّها وواصل. لماذا صقر؟ خمسة مستويات صعوبة: من وضع التدريب الهادئ إلى مستوى النخبة الشرس. سباق مع الوقت: 90 ثانية لكل وردية، وثلاثة أرواح فقط. نظام كومبو يكافئ القرارات المتتالية الصحيحة بنقاط إضافية. مركز تدريب يشرح كل نوع من الحوادث قبل أن تخوضها. ميداليات وأوسمة شرف ولوحة متصدرين يومية تشعل المنافسة. تتعلّم وأنت تلعب. صقر ليس مجرد لعبة، بل تدريب عملي على تفكير الدعم التقني وأمن المعلومات: متى تحقّق، متى تصعّد، وكيف تميّز التهديد الحقيقي عن الإنذار الكاذب. مثالي للمهتمين بتقنية المعلومات، وطلاب الأمن السيبراني، ومحبّي ألعاب القرار السريع. من صخر إلى صقر: رؤية حادة، سرعة، ودقة. ابدأ ورديتك الأولى الآن. هل تملك أعصاب الصقر؟
