Building a cyber lab

As the name suggests, I'll be going over how you can build your own cyber security lab for purple team operations, including different architectural approaching like on prem and cloud based

What is a cyber lab

The cyber lab will be some virtual machines and an internal network (virtual).

The lab should have:

  1. Offensive security capability (red team)

  2. Monitoring capability (blue team)

  3. Networking infrastructure such as firewalls and subnets

And should be able to perform security activities such as

  • Penetration Testing

  • Forensics

  • Monitoring, Detection, Response (MDR, like a SOC)

  • Research and Development
