<p>On May 15, 2024, at approximately 10:00 AM, the IT department detected unusual activity on the company’s network. This activity was flagged by the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system, indicating a potential unauthorized access attempt. Immediate measures were taken to contain the incident, and an investigation was initiated to determine the scope and impact.</p>
</div>

<div class="section">
<h2 class="section-title">2. Objectives</h2>
<ul class="details">
<li>Identify the root cause of the unauthorized access.</li>
