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.

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 liked that the simulation was practical and focused on real cybersecurity workflows. The tasks were clear, hands‑on, and showed how analysts think during incidents. It helped me understand how to identify suspicious activity, respond to threats, and communicate findings in a structured way. The scenario felt realistic and aligned well with what happens in actual SOC environments.
