SOC Home Lab Network Architecture showing Authentik, Netbird, Wazuh, IRIS, Graylog, and operating systems in a Virtual Private Network

This diagram shows the complete architecture of my SOC Home Lab setup, including Identity Provider (IDP), VPN connectivity, and a Virtual Private Network containing various security tools like Wazuh, IRIS, Graylog, and different operating systems (Ubuntu, Windows Server, etc.) - all configured to detect and analyze potential security threats.

Ultimate SOC Home Lab

Wazuh Authentik Netbird IRIS Graylog Windows/Linux

A comprehensive Security Operations Center (SOC) lab environment designed to emulate a real-world SOC with a focus on cybersecurity monitoring, threat detection, and incident response capabilities.

Components

  • Authentik (IDP) - Identity Provider for authentication and access control
  • Netbird (VPN) - Secure, encrypted remote access to the lab environment
  • Wazuh - Functions as both EDR and SIEM for threat detection
  • IRIS - Threat intelligence platform for security insights
  • Graylog - Log management and analysis system
  • SOCfortress Copilot - Automates SOC workflow and alert triage

Implementation

This project was implemented with multiple virtual machines to handle different security functions including:

  • A secure VPN infrastructure with Netbird for remote access
  • Identity management through Authentik for role-based access control
  • Comprehensive monitoring with Wazuh agents on all endpoints
  • Centralized log analysis with Graylog
  • Threat intelligence integration with IRIS
