Project 20 / Active

Wachsam

Digital security through play: short cases help people recognise phishing, fake messages and scams. Wachsam is available in the browser; Android and iPhone apps have been announced. Businesses have a dedicated training path.

The task behind the project

Cybersecurity also starts with everyday decisions: is this message genuine, why is there time pressure and how can I verify a request? Wachsam turns these situations into short playable cases.

The service is designed for families, schools, older people and businesses. It focuses on scams in messages and phone calls. Companies have a dedicated training path with completion records.

As of 15 October 2026: the game is available in the browser. Android and iPhone apps have been announced. Wachsam supports learning and practice; completing a case does not prove that every real scam message will be recognised.
