Built an end-to-end breach triage and response narrative from phishing email to containment and reporting. Correctly identified the malicious lure, traced the intrusion through anomalous logins and file access, selected defensible containment steps, drafted a GDPR Article 33 notification, and translated the lessons to the public Continental LockBit case using concrete evidence such as dwell time and exfiltration scale.
