Description

Security Operation Center (SOC), as the name suggests, is a central operation center that deals with information and cyber security events by employing people, processes, and technology. It continuously monitors and improves an organization's security posture. It is considered to be the first line of defense against cyber security threats.

HOW A SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTER WORKS:

Rather than being focused on developing a security strategy, designing security architecture, or implementing protective measures, the SOC team is responsible for the ongoing, operational component of enterprise information security. Security operations center staff consists primarily of security analysts who work together to detect, analyze, respond to, report on, and prevent cybersecurity incidents. Additional capabilities of some SOCs can include advanced forensic analysis, cryptanalysis, and malware reverse engineering to analyze incidents.
