SECURITY OPERATIONS · EVIDENCE FIRST

From alert to analyst decision.

Three documented training cases designed to demonstrate triage, scope, uncertainty and clear incident notes.

Every case in this library is simulated. The scenarios do not represent attacks against PhilSIEM or any other real organisation.

CASE 003 · SIMULATED

SOC-003 · SSH authentication anomaly

An external documentation-range source makes repeated SSH authentication attempts against a fictional Linux host. The available evidence supports attempted password guessing, not confirmed compromise.

CASE 004 · SIMULATED
