I Built a Production SOC Pipeline That Caught Real Hackers in 3 Minutes

A cybersecurity engineer built a production SOC pipeline using OpenCanary, Wazuh, Shuffle, and TheHive, catching real hackers in 3 minutes. This pipeline automates threat detection and response, making manual triage impossible. Hands-on experience is key to learning SOC architecture. The pipeline's success highlights the importance of automation and honeypots in modern SOC. Next steps include adding IP enrichment using threat intelligence feeds.
