About this project
Step into a German SOC on the night shift. As a Tier-1 Security Operations analyst at Falkenstein Automotive, you follow a live intrusion from the first phishing click through log analysis, the kill chain, containment and the GDPR 72-hour breach clock — then meet the real case it is based on: Continental's 2022 LockBit breach, using public data only. You leave with a real incident report and a CompTIA Security+ / BSI readiness map.

What you'll do
1
Onboarding: The Night Shift Begins
Clock in as a Tier-1 SOC analyst at a German automotive supplier. Meet your shift coach, learn how you pass and how AI is used on a real security team, and make your first gut call: how do you think the attacker got in?
2
Act 1 — Detect & Triage
A suspicious email lands. Learn how phishing, credential theft, and MFA work, then triage a real lure: spot the tells, rate the severity, and decide whether this is the first domino of a breach.
3
Act 2 — Investigate the Intrusion
Follow the attacker through the logs. Read SIEM events, map the activity to the cyber kill chain, and extract the indicators of compromise (IoCs) that prove an intruder is inside.
