A team of Leonardo colleagues based at the home of the company’s Cyber Security business in Bristol has found an innovative way to highlight cyber risks using Lego, during this year’s Cyber Security Awareness month. The concept of cyber resilience can be difficult to understand; it is an abstract term, and its impacts are not always outwardly seen. To raise awareness of the risks of cyber risks to military platforms, a team was formed at Leonardo’s Cyber Security business in Bristol to create a physical demonstration of the dangers. Coined ‘Project Brick’, the five-strong team worked in an agile way – allowing creative input to improve efficiency and collaboration – to create an interactive Lego model to illustrate the inherent vulnerabilities associated with operational technology on military platforms and their potential impact.
