Hello @nina, There are a few ways - 

 - If you are planning to showcase some use cases as a part of Project - Splunk Security Essentials (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3435) does have some built-in datasets. For example for Sample Brute Force Attack Detection

https://github.com/splunk/botsv3 does have a number of sample datasets for multiple sourcetypes

- You can use EventGen (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1924) to generate "more" events based on existing event formats.

 

Please accept the solution and hit Karma, if this helps!
