The simulation gave hands-on exposure to real cybersecurity work — from analysing fraud data in Splunk and handling a phishing/ransomware incident, to designing a security awareness infographic and completing web penetration testing labs. It was practical, well-structured, and helped me understand how each task connects to a real bank’s security operations.

I had a great experience with this lab simulation. The practical approach made it much easier to understand how vulnerabilities work in real-world web applications, especially by allowing me to identify and exploit them step by step using Burp Suite. The hands-on nature of the simulation was very helpful compared to learning these concepts only through theory.

I really enjoyed the hands-on and realistic tasks throughout the simulation. It helped me understand key cybersecurity concepts such as incident response, password security, data analysis, and penetration testing. The practical approach made learning engaging and improved my confidence in solving real-world cybersecurity challenges.
