The sixth edition of Devogame will focus on cybersecurity and ethical and responsible AI

Since September 8, Devoteam, a company specializing in digital strategy consulting, technology platforms and cybersecurity, has opened its registration for the sixth edition of Devogame. This serious game offers participants the opportunity to immerse themselves in a life-size game on topics related to artificial intelligence and technology. For this year, Devogame is placed under the sign of accountability and ethics and will see students immerse themselves in the skin of an agent of the “Cloud Investigation Agency”.

The 2021 edition of Devogame: when the player becomes a CIA agent and tracks down cybercriminals

Faced with a cyber attack, several players will put themselves in the shoes of CIA agents (renamed Cloud Investigation Agency), and will have to identify the person inside who want to illegally exchange confidential information by hacking the agency’s cloud with the help of their colleague, cybersecurity agent Phil Cooper.

To achieve this, they will have to use their soft skills (behavioural skills such as negotiation, active listening, emotional intelligence, etc.) and propose a solution in the form of a business proposal involving Devoteam’s 6 strategic areas: Sustainability enabled by digital, Trust & Security, Distributed Cloud, Data-Driven Intelligence, Digital business & products, Business Automation.

During this interactive survey, the players will have to imagine and write a business proposal with what they think would be the most suitable solution to prevent the cyber attack.

A national final for the students to defend their solution

Since September 8, registrations are open to students from engineering schools, business schools and universities in France and Saudi Arabia via the following link. From October 11 to 29, students will participate in the online game and send their business proposal to prevent the cyber attack.

A jury of cybersecurity experts, Devoteam executives and associated partners will analyze all the proposals and select a few so that the chosen students can defend their solution in front of them on November 18, 2021. After deliberation, the winner will receive a five-day trip to Dubai, from December 9 to 13, to visit the World Expo and attend the Formula 1 Grand Prix.

If the 2021 edition is dedicated to ethics, responsible AI and cybersecurity, the 2020 edition was focused on social innovation and the students had to develop a solidarity project for 21, the social accelerator of the French Red Cross. The winners were able to complete a six-month internship to collaborate on their project as well as on others carried out by the Red Cross as part of Devoteam’s #TechforPeople program.
