INSIDE THE MICRO DATA CENTER
One infrastructure.
Multiple security perspectives.
Students work in coordinated teams across segmented lab networks. Each team has a clear role, while controlled traffic and shared targets connect the exercise into one realistic enterprise scenario.

CORE INFRASTRUCTURE
↗SEGMENT A
Red Team
Runs approved attack scenarios against designated targets in the isolated lab.
⬡SEGMENT B
Blue Team
Hardens systems, validates controls and responds to activity in the target environment.
◉SEGMENT C
SOC Analysts
Correlates logs and alerts, investigates events and builds an incident timeline.
