JOB SIMS

11/9/20241 min read

I used Forage virtual experience program to complete a job simulation where I served as an analyst on Mastercard’s Security Awareness Team.

This simulation was to perform a Social Engineering campaign within the organization to raise awareness about Phishing. The first task was to craft a phishing email for each department within the organization and make it as convincing and sophisticated as possible.

Next task was to analyze and identify which areas of the business needed more robust security training and implemented training courses and procedures for those teams. Once the investigation was over, I created a short presentation for the HR and Marketing teams, who fell for the phishing campaign, to help them improve their security awareness.
