PhilSIEM | Cybersecurity & Security Operations
🛡️ From Cybersecurity Student to Building My Own SOC Investigation Platform
Introducing PhilSIEM v4 | Cybersecurity Portfolio & Interactive SOC Lab
Over the past several months, I’ve been taking what I learned during my cybersecurity training and putting it into practice through independent, hands-on projects.
What started as an experiment with an OpenCanary honeypot has gradually developed into something much bigger.
Today, I’m sharing my cybersecurity portfolio website:
🌐 https://philsiem.com
🔍 What’s inside PhilSIEM?
🔹 OpenCanary Honeypot: My hands-on security monitoring project, exploring how deception technology can help identify suspicious network activity.
🔹 PhilSIEM Architecture: A documented proposed security monitoring architecture, exploring how different detection and analysis components could work together.
🔹 Interactive SOC Training Lab: A browser-based environment featuring seven simulated cybersecurity investigations, including SSH password guessing, phishing, suspicious outbound connections and privilege escalation.
🔹 Incident Investigation & Reporting: Analyse simulated logs, assess severity, document findings, receive feedback and generate downloadable investigation reports.
🔹 SOC Case Studies: Structured investigations covering evidence analysis, incident classification and recommended defensive actions.
🎯 Why did I build it?
My goal is to become a Junior SOC Analyst.
I wanted to go beyond studying cybersecurity concepts and create something practical that demonstrates how I’m developing my analytical thinking, technical knowledge and investigation skills.
The interactive investigations use simulated data, while my honeypot work reflects my separate hands-on lab experience.
I’m still learning, improving and developing the platform, but that’s precisely the point. Cybersecurity is a field where there’s always something new to understand.
🤝 I’d welcome feedback from the cybersecurity community.
Whether you’re a SOC analyst, security engineer, mentor or fellow learner, I’d genuinely appreciate your thoughts on the website, the investigations and what I could improve.
