It is designed to simulate how a real Security Operations Center works while also helping users learn and practice cybersecurity skills. Over time, the vision became more focused on not just detecting threats, but also understanding and responding to them in realistic situations.<\/td>\n        <\/tr>\n\n        <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee\">\n            <td style=\"padding: 15px 0;font-weight: bold;color: #666;vertical-align: top;text-transform: uppercase;font-size: 13px;letter-spacing: 0.5px\">Mission<\/td>\n            <td style=\"padding: 15px 10px;color: #444;vertical-align: top\">The mission of this project is to build a working Virtual Security Operations Center that can collect data, detect threats, and support basic incident response. The project is designed to monitor network activity, detect potential threats, analyze security alerts, and provide a space to practice cybersecurity skills.
