I participated in a five-week internship program, consisting of four weeks focused on technical skills and one week dedicated to soft skills. The format was blended: one week online, one week onsite, alternating throughout the month, with every Saturday fixed as an online session. The onsite training took place at the Creativa Innovation Hub (El Dokki). During the program, I worked on multiple hands-on projects covering areas such as cybersecurity, system hardening, SIEM deployment, automation with n8n, networking, and penetration testing, as well as a group project simulating enterprise infrastructure. The final week emphasized communication, presentation, teamwork, and professional development (Soft Skills).
Each session was delivered by a different instructor, each with a unique career journey and valuable experiences to share. This exposure was inspiring and insightful, as it gave me the opportunity to understand how professionals in the field advanced in their careers. I took the chance to ask questions and seek advice whenever possible, which broadened my
perspective on potential paths in cybersecurity.
The internship concluded with a final assessment, and overall, the experience was highly valuable for my growth as a SOC analyst. It provided not only technical depth and practical exposure, but also broader insights into real-world practices and professional development.
