I really enjoyed the practical and hands-on approach of the simulation. It provided a realistic cybersecurity scenario and helped me understand how phishing attacks are designed, how to analyze simulation results, and how targeted security awareness training can reduce organizational risk. The tasks were clear, engaging, and relevant to real-world cybersecurity.

“I really appreciated the hands-on experience the program provided. The simulations were realistic and allowed me to practice decision-making in a professional setting, which gave me a clear insight into how Mastercard operates internally. I also found the instructions and guidance very clear, making it easy to follow each task successfully.”

I liked that the simulation walked through the full lifecycle of a phishing awareness program — from designing a realistic phishing email, to analyzing team-level results, to building targeted training. It gave a clear picture of how a Security Awareness Analyst thinks about both the offensive and defensive sides of phishing.
