Swedish Armed Forces.Defend the Network.

The best conversations don't start with a brochure. They start with a challenge.

To help the Swedish Armed Forces attract experienced IT specialists, BANG Agency created Defend the Network – an interactive game inspired by real-life cyber defence. Players were thrown into three simultaneous missions, forcing them to analyse, prioritise and make decisions under pressure. The mechanics were intentionally simple, while the challenges tested logic, creativity and problem-solving – mirroring the skills needed in modern defence. But the game wasn't the goal. It was the conversation starter. By turning recruitment into an experience, Defend the Network became a powerful attraction at career fairs across Sweden, generating meaningful conversations with highly relevant candidates and strengthening the Swedish Armed Forces' position as a modern, innovative and technology-driven employer. Because the best way to discover talent is to let people demonstrate it. Try it at forsvaranatet.se.
