• Defend the Servers:
  Servers are positioned on the left side of the grid, representing the assets you must protect.

• Attackers:
  A variety of malicious enemies like malware, trojans, and viruses emerge from the right side, imitating real-world cyber threats.

• Defense Mechanisms:
  Players deploy defense components such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and more to stop attacks before they reach the servers.

• Interactive Education:
  Hovering over components (both threats and defenses) displays detailed descriptions, providing educational insights into their purpose and behavior.
