Bluesecure wins the Jury’s Favorite Award at Cybernight 2025 thanks to its crisis management game: Blackout, 20 minutes to regain control

On Monday, November 24, during the 2025 edition of Cybernight, Bluesecure was honored with the Jury’s Favorite Award, a distinction that shines a spotlight on the most innovative players in the cybersecurity sector.

Our award-winning solution: Blackout, an immersive cyber crisis management game that puts users at the heart of realistic critical situations.

This recognition marks an important milestone for our awareness solution, confirming the growing importance of educational and game-based approaches in cyber prevention.

Blackout: the first multi-perspective simulation for training to manage a cyber crisis

Blackout offers an immersive experience: living through a cyberattack from the inside by taking on different key roles within a crisis management team.

Users must make quick, consistent decisions in each role they take on. They will successively experience the perspectives of the HR Director, CISO, DPO, Communications team and Executive Management, each with their own challenges, responsibilities and dilemmas. In these roles, their choices become decisive: they directly influence how the crisis unfolds and how the organization responds to it.

The goal: understand the challenges of a cyber crisis. Adopt the right reflexes in the event of an attack. Understand the dilemmas faced by the stakeholders on a crisis committee.

Blackout is also available as an in-person version for awareness initiatives, with cyber-themed accessories and an immersive setup that reinforces the experience and its educational impact.

An award that recognizes learning through play

The Jury’s Favorite Award recognizes the relevance of Bluesecure’s approach: making cyber awareness more engaging, more memorable and, above all, more effective.

The Cybernight jury, at this leading event bringing together cybersecurity decision-makers, praised:

• educational innovation

• the game’s operational value

• the quality of the scripted experience

• the importance of training through simulation to anticipate major attacks

This distinction confirms that the future of awareness lies in gamification, simulation and regular team training to address cyber risk.

Towards a new generation of cyber training

Receiving this award is much more than recognition: it confirms that our vision of cybersecurity, centered on engagement and user experience, resonates with organizations.

With Blackout, we are laying the foundations for a new era of training: immersive, interactive and firmly action-oriented. And this is only the beginning.
