DATA TRACK - Your Mission
You've been given access to a dataset (email) that may contain... something interesting. We're not going to tell you exactly what to look for- that's part of the challenge.
Your task is to:
- Dive deep into the data and conduct your own analysis
- Find the mistakes and outliers - the odd ones out that don't quite fit
- Spot anomalies, risks and patterns that might indicate potentially fraudulent transaction schemes
But wait... What do you mean by "Fraudulent"?
That's exactly the point.
We're deliberately not defining this for you. We want to see what YOU think. What patterns strike you as suspicious? What raises red flags? There's a crime in the room -can you piece the evidence together?
This is where your investigative spirit comes into play. Your ability to dig deeper, think critically, and connect the dots will set you apart.
Use your judgment, define your own signals, and back them with evidence.
Keep in mind
Remember, the banking industry is a multi-account, multi-country, multi-asset, multi-currency type of problem. The complexity is real, and so are the hidden patterns within it.
The challenge
Analyze the data through your own lens. Find your own insights. Describe it in the presentation and upload it to the platform before the deadline!
CLOUD TRACK - Your Mission
Your mission begins in Azure - a pre-configured cloud sandbox where something isn’t quite right.
Your goal
Investigate, fix, optimize, and explain what you discovered.

Your login details (username and password) have been sent to you separately via email.
Upon first login, please enable 2FA with Microsoft Authenticator - this is required to access your environment.
The challenge
Inside your personal Azure environment, you’ll find Terraform configurations, CI/CD pipelines, and Azure resources that need your critical eye. Some things will fail, others will misbehave — and a few will just feel off. Your task is to investigate, fix, optimize, and make it all work better than before.
You’ll:
- Review and debug the Terraform and Azure DevOps pipelines.
- Identify and correct misconfigurations.
- Secure sensitive data (no hardcoded secrets!).
- Apply cloud best practices and suggest enhancements.
After completing the challenges, summarize your findings in a short presentation.
Describe what you observed, what you fixed, and what insights you gained about performance, security, and best practices. Then upload your presentation directly on the ChallengeRocket platform - this will be your official project submission.
Please mind the deadline for uploading!
