A ProoV case study · educational project, not employment
Built a solid beginner SOC incident response workflow end to end: triaged a phishing intrusion, identified anomalous logins and IoCs, mapped the attack to the kill chain, and chose a containment sequence that cut access before destructive steps. Also drafted a GDPR Article 33 notification and a structured incident report with timeline, root cause, impact, and recommendations.
