Testbed of an Integrated Network Operations Center and a Security Operations Center Based on Open-Source Tools

This article proposes a testbed IT environment that includes an IntegratedNetwork Operations Center and a Security Operations Center based on open-source tools for conducting cybersecurity research. The testbed is capable ofmonitoring and configuring network devices and systems. The design includesphysical devices, virtual machines, and strategically deployed sensors for per-formance and security-related data collection. It enables the study of networktraffic, anomaly detection, and cybersecurity threats. The framework servesas a foundation for cybersecurity testing, offering real-time insights into thenetwork’s behavior, detecting faults, and identifying potential vulnerabilities.
