CyberVault started with a Linux terminal.

Now we have SIEM Analyst Labs, the SOC simulator,

SQL Practical Labs on the way.

But one question kept coming back:

"Where do I start if I know nothing?"

In 2 weeks, we answer it. 🧵

A suspicious login is only one piece of evidence.

Correlate it with:

Failed authentication attempts
Source IP
Geolocation
Device information
Login time
User behavior
Privilege changes
Other alerts

Evidence first. Conclusions second.

@WilliamInCyber This is the kind of proof of work we love to see 👏

William, we’d like to challenge you to take a shift in the CyberVault SOC Simulator. No walkthrough, just the case, the evidence and your investigation. 👀

We’d genuinely like to see how you approach it. Up for it?

[Cybervault @Cybervaultlabs]

@gabbytech01 Building the skill is one job. Building proof of the skill is another. Then somehow you still have to make sure people actually see the work. 😅

That balance is harder than it looks. Keep building, Gabriel🤝

@nenyeonyema Networking starts making a lot more sense when you stop seeing it as definitions to memorise and start following how data actually moves between devices

Keep documenting the journey👏

@R4CK4TT4CK When Linux muscle memory follows you into Windows 😂 nano really thought it had jurisdiction here

@ArtemPolynko This is an important mindset for anyone learning cloud security. Learn the security problem first, then learn what each provider calls its solution.

Makes moving between AWS, Azure and GCP much less intimidating.

[Cybervault @Cybervaultlabs]

@WilliamInCyber Good one, the important part is what comes after spotting the listener 👀
Is this port expected? What service owns it? Should it even be exposed?
That’s where a simple command starts becoming an investigation

[Cybervault @Cybervaultlabs]

@Big_Josh0944 Thanks for flagging this, Josh. The issue affecting the SOC Simulator has been fixed and it’s back up and running now.

Give it another try, and if you run into anything else, let us know. See you in the terminal 🚀

the story mode allows you work alongside the team at Brisanta, a small coffee company, as it faces phishing, ransomware, password attacks and supplier risks.

The Cybersecurity Program builds the foundation. Our Linux labs and SOC simulator are where you put it to work.

One platform, from your first lesson to the skills employers look for.

One of the biggest SOC mistakes:

Confusing an alert with an incident.

An alert tells you: Something happened.

Investigation tells you: What happened, whether it matters, and what should happen next.

That difference is where real SOC skill develops.

You discover a cloud storage bucket containing company files.

The bucket is publicly accessible.

What’s your FIRST move?

A. Delete it
B. Make it private
C. Investigate access
D. Rotate credentials

One reason pentesting feels difficult when you're learning is simple:

You're expected to make decisions about systems you've barely interacted with.

Practice changes that.

OFFENSIVE SECURITY / PENTESTING QUESTION

You’re conducting an authorized penetration test.

You discover:

Port 22 — SSH

What do you investigate next?

A. Service version
B. Authentication methods
C. Configuration
D. Known vulnerabilities

[Cybervault @Cybervaultlabs]

One cloud security principle you should never forget:

Give identities only the permissions they need.

Not: Give them admin access because it’s easier.

Convenience creates attack surface.

Least privilege reduces it.

[Cybervault @Cybervaultlabs]

What attack surface is available?

Only then do you determine what deserves deeper testing.

The real skill isn’t knowing the most exploits.

It’s knowing where to look, what to test, and why.

[Cybervault @Cybervaultlabs]

A common beginner mistake in offensive security:

Jumping straight to exploitation.

Professional penetration testing starts with understanding the target.

Reconnaissance helps establish:

What exists?
What is exposed?
What technologies are running?
