A Div0 initiative for cybersecurity capability development
The Cyber Storm Centre is an initiative by Div0 to build a collective space where seasoned threat researchers, vulnerability analysts, and aspiring professionals collaborate on impactful projects.
The Cyber Storm Centre is an initiative by Div0, built on one belief: security is learned by doing, not studied in theory. At its core is a community-operated Security Operations Centre (SOC), open to anyone willing to put in the work, regardless of experience.
That same belief shapes how we grow talent here: skill comes from sharing what you know and doing the work, not hoarding it or just reading about it.
## goal
A platform and community for capability development
Through this programme, volunteers gain hands-on experience building, operating, and analysing a real, community-run Security Operations Centre (SOC). Rather than learning in a simulated environment, volunteers work on infrastructure that handles real telemetry and produces real findings.
## how-it-fits-together
One ecosystem, many projects
There are several projects that volunteers are already working on across Div0, and each one ultimately plugs into the Cyber Storm Centre ecosystem:
- >Volunteers can plug their project's telemetry into the SOC that is currently being built, feeding it real signal to detect and respond to.
- >Volunteers can publish research write-ups and findings back to the community through this site's blog.
## who-its-for
Every level of experience has a role
> seasoned threat researchers
Bring deep expertise to detection engineering, threat hunting, and the harder analytical problems the SOC surfaces.
> vulnerability analysts
Help assess and triage findings surfaced across the ecosystem, and connect them back to real operational impact.
> aspiring professionals
Get hands-on experience that's difficult to find anywhere else, working alongside experienced practitioners on live infrastructure.
Want to be part of it?
Whether you want to build, operate, analyse, or plug your own project's telemetry into the SOC, we'd like to hear from you.
