Deloitte Australia Cybersecurity Job Simulation

This repository contains my work from the Deloitte Australia Cybersecurity Virtual Experience Program, where I participated as a cybersecurity analyst responding to a real-world scenario for a high-profile client, Daikibo Industrials.

---

📌 Overview

Client: Daikibo Industrials
Situation: A news outlet leaked confidential data about Daikibo. Around the same time, a production line outage raised concerns about the integrity of their internal systems. The client suspected that their telemetry dashboard, used to monitor factory operations, may have been compromised by an external attacker.

🧪 Tasks Completed

1. Web Log Analysis

I reviewed a structured web_requests.log file containing HTTP requests made to the telemetry dashboard. Each block of data represented web traffic from a single internal IP address and included login attempts, static asset requests, and API calls.

Using a structured log inspection approach, I:

• Traced legitimate user session flows (Login → Dashboard UI → API)
• Analyzed request intervals and patterns
• Identified one account, mdB7yD2dp1BFZPontHBQ1Z, exhibiting suspicious, automated API request behavior

2. Client Advisory Report

After the analysis, I compiled a professional advisory report for Daikibo. The report:

• Outlined the investigative method
• Confirmed no signs of external breach
• Flagged abnormal internal activity
• Recommended auditing the identified user and strengthening monitoring of API usage
