Experts: Dmytro Korzhevin

In this simulator, you take on the role of a cybersecurity analyst responsible for protecting the digital infrastructure of organizations — from banks to hospitals. You will face typical incidents that cybersecurity analysts encounter: phishing, data breaches, DDoS attacks, and server infections with malicious software.

 

Your task is to detect and identify threats, assess their risks, isolate compromised resources, neutralize attacks and anomalous activities, document and escalate cyber incidents, and restore security. After each step, you will receive an explanation of why your choice was correct or not, and what best practices should be applied in real life.

 

The simulator will help you better understand the responsibilities of a cybersecurity analyst and the key actions for responding to cyber incidents across different sectors.
