Murus Secure

Cybersecurity Infrastructure for Healthcare

Murus Secure represents a comprehensive cybersecurity infrastructure designed specifically for healthcare environments. This project demonstrates advanced SOC (Security Operations Center) capabilities through the integration of multiple security tools and platforms. The infrastructure simulates a realistic hospital network with dedicated VMs for each security component, creating a robust defense-in-depth strategy.

Simulated a secure hospital IT infrastructure with VMs for TheHive, Cortex, Shuffle, MISP, Snort, Kibana, Wazuh, pfSense, and core servers.
Integrated SOC automation with threat intelligence, case management, log analysis, and anomaly detection.
Modeled realistic hospital LAN (ER, ICU, radiology, etc.) to demonstrate end-to-end monitoring.
