TSOC / Training Security Operations Centre

A working SOC, built for teaching.

Real telemetry. Real detection scenarios. Real analyst workflows — across blue, red, and purple team environments. TSOC gives universities and TAFEs the closest thing to a production Security Operations Centre, without building one from scratch.

01 — Workflow

4 phases

How a TSOC session unfolds

Students move through the same workflow a junior analyst runs every shift.

01 / INGEST

Telemetry streams

Windows, Linux, network, web, and auth logs flow into the SIEM in real time.

02 / DETECT

Alerts fire

Sigma and KQL rules trigger on malware, privilege escalation, brute force, and exploitation.

03 / TRIAGE

Investigate

Correlate events, query logs, and build an incident timeline using real analyst dashboards.

04 / REPORT

Document

Write the incident narrative — the same deliverable a SOC analyst produces.

02 — Platform

What we ship

Everything you'd otherwise have to build

A complete SOC environment delivered as a turnkey training platform — so your team focuses on teaching, not infrastructure.

Multi-zone architecture

SOC topology

✓

Segmented blue, red, and purple team environments with VLAN isolation and access control

SIEM + log pipeline

Detection layer

✓

Pre-configured ingestion from Windows, Linux, network, web, and auth sources with dashboards and alerting

Detection content

Sigma + KQL

✓

Curated rule sets covering malware, privilege escalation, brute force, and web exploitation scenarios

Attack simulation

Realistic signals

06 — Pair with Cyber Range

Add-on

TSOC + Cyber Range

The most comprehensive cyber learning ecosystem available.

Combine TSOC's full SOC environment with the Cyber Range's per-student cloud-hosted virtual machines. Students move from individual lab exercises into a working SOC — building skills progressively across an entire program.

✓

A machine for every student

Dedicated lab environment for every student via Cyber Range.

✓

Shared SOC floor

Whole-class SOC simulations and team-based exercises in TSOC.

✓

Progressive learning

Individual labs to whole-of-cohort SOC operations in one platform.

✓

Unified analytics

Track student progression across both platforms in one dashboard.
