Security Monitoring Platform in My Home Lab — Series 1 ~Building a Multi-Source Threat Detection Engine~ Disclaimer: All content in this article is based on experiments conducted in my personal home lab and test environment. This work is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or related to any company I currently work for or have worked for. All opinions are my own. In this series, you will learn how to build comprehensive security monitoring platform that combines multiple open-source tools for threat detection.
