Center for Cyber Strategy and Policy Cyber Security Animation


CCSP seeks to advance the study of cybersecurity through a social science (and humanities) perspective grounded, particularly, in the fields of strategic studies, international
relations, national and foreign policy studies, national and international law, and organizations.

This animation’s purpose is to educate cyber strategists on cyber-agreed competition. All illustration, animation, and voice recording done by Meghan Sawyer.

Modeled after a vintage video game console, the style of this animation is blocky and pixelated, balanced with a soccer/football metaphor to explain the ruleset being followed in cyberspace.
