The Telstra Cybersecurity virtual internship gave me the chance to step into the shoes of a SOC analyst. With some guidance and instruction, I was able to identify an intrusion, alert the affected teams, develop and implement firewall rules, and practice writing a post-incident report. Thanks for helping me improve my practical skills in the field!

his task provided an excellent blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice. While I have written incident response reports during my studies, this exercise stood out due to its practical approach. Developing the firewall rules in Python allowed me to directly apply coding skills to a real-world cybersecurity scenario.

I appreciated the hands-on, real-world cybersecurity simulations, which provided practical experience in incident response, malware analysis, and firewall management. The step-by-step guidance and structured tasks helped me understand how to handle critical security incidents in a professional environment.
