Established in 2011 in Paris, Getzem is a leading provider of security awareness solutions. They create diverse interactive apps to teach security best practices and maintain a culture of information protection for their clients.

Info-Sentinel, their off-the shelf Serious Game, has two separate modules: Information Security Office and Information Security Travelers - players are trained to adopt an appropriate behavior to protect company's information and their own personal data, at the office and while travelling.

In the game, players assume the role of agent "Sentinel", who is urgently called to help a company, following an information security breach. As the game progresses, players are asked to explore different environments (expo hall, hotel rooms, business center, the hotel bar, etc.) to uncover potential vulnerabilities, handle incidents and perform corrective actions.
