Course of SOC - Security Operations Center

WHAT IS A SOC?

It is already more than clear that a company cannot do without digital security planning,

something that involves people, processes and technologies. However, it is not always

feasible to set up an internal digital security team, dedicated to monitoring the structure,

both for budgetary reasons and demand priorities. A viable solution in this case is to

seek a partnership with a SOC, which stands for Security Operations Center. In short, a

SOC is a team – which may or may not be outsourced – wholly dedicated to analyzing

traffic flow and monitoring threats and attacks.

Thus, it is responsible for monitoring the company's security posture and any

cybersecurity threats. The SOC helps protect all areas of an organization's IT infrastructure, including networks, software, and stored data.

For that, it works non-stop, 24x7, to track events registered in the company's system and

decide how such occurrences will be treated. They are usually supported by a team of

security analysts, engineers and managers who work to respond immediately to security

threats.

The security operations center is also continually looking for ways to improve the

organization's defense posture as well as prevent future cyber attacks.
