Cyber Defense Circle: SOC Simulation Lab
Event Abstract
Five hours inside a simulated security operations centre. Teams defend a live environment against a scripted adversary operating with valid credentials — the exact scenario behind this year's biggest breaches.
The lab emphasises detection engineering and decision-making under uncertainty. All techniques follow our ethics code; everything runs in an isolated range.
