SENTINEL-01 is still online—but can its data be trusted?
A critical counter-unmanned aircraft system (cUAS) sensor node continues to provide operational data, but anomalies in its output raise concerns about the integrity of the information supporting mission decisions. As the investigation unfolds, your team must determine whether the anomalies indicate a cyber compromise, establish the scope of the intrusion, and assess the risk to connected systems.
🛰️ The Scenario
Suspicious activity has been detected within the SENTINEL-01 environment, raising questions about the integrity of its sensor data and the security of its connected infrastructure. The source of the activity and the extent of any compromise remain unknown.
Your team must investigate the evidence, reconstruct the likely intrusion path, and determine whether the threat extends beyond the initial system. Every finding will help shape the next phase of the operation.
🎯 Your Mission:
🔹 Preserve SENTINEL-01’s operational availability
🔹 Assess the integrity of sensor data and identify suspicious activity
🔹 Reconstruct the intrusion and determine the adversary’s access paths
🔹 Establish the scope of the compromise and investigate potential lateral movement
🔹 Contain the threat while preserving evidence and maintaining mission continuity
🛡️ Mission constraint: SENTINEL-01 must remain online throughout the investigation.
👁️ Detect the unseen. Defend what matters.
