Security Playbooks is a cybersecurity educational repository designed for detection engineers, threat hunters, incident responders, security engineers, cybersecurity professionals and SOC analysts.
It focuses on delivering realistic, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, detection rules, detection validation, security playbooks, SOC workflows, adversary emulation, threat intelligence, detection engineering content, and hands-on labs to help users build practical skills in threat hunting, incident response, and adversary simulation within controlled environments.
The project aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world security operations by providing structured, reproducible, practical cybersecurity workflows, detection engineering, threat intelligence, and security operations (SecOps).
