About This Project

Kickstart your German Cloud Security career as a Falkenstein Automotive SecOps Analyst, tracing a live intrusion from the first phishing click to deep log containment. You'll hunt threats under the pressure of a ticking 72-hour GDPR breach clock before dissecting real public data from Continental's legendary 2022 LockBit attack. Showcase on Linkedin and start ProoVing!

What you'll work on

1

Onboarding: The Night Shift Begins

KNOWLEDGE GATHERING

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

Mixed

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

Mixed

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.

4

Act 3 — Contain & Notify

Mixed

Stop the bleeding. Draft a containment plan that cuts the attacker off quietly, then write the GDPR/DSGVO 72-hour breach notification to the regulator — the legal clock most beginners never hear about.

5

Act 4 — Brief Leadership

Document

Translate a long night into clear decisions. Write the incident report and the forward-looking security recommendations that leadership will actually act on.

6

Capstone — The Real Case

FINAL SUBMISSION

The reveal: everything tonight was modeled on the documented 2022 Continental LockBit breach (public data only). Analyze the real case like the analyst you have become and submit your final incident report.

What you'll learn

1

Threat Detection & Triage

Spot phishing and credential attacks, read the tells, and rate severity the way a real Security Operations Center does on a live intrusion.

2

Investigation & Incident Response

Follow an attacker through SIEM logs, map the cyber kill chain, extract indicators of compromise, and contain the breach without tipping them off.

3

Compliance & Security Communication

Run the GDPR/DSGVO 72-hour breach clock and brief leadership with a clear incident report — the skills that get a beginner hired into a German SOC.
