Security Operations Center
A Security Operations Center, often called the SOC, is a centralized team and facility that monitors, detects, and responds to various cybersecurity threats and incidents. The SOC monitors the organization’s networks, systems, and digital assets to identify signs of unauthorized access, data breaches, or malicious activities.
Imagine it as a high-tech control center for cybersecurity. The SOC team uses specialized tools and technologies to analyze data from various sources, like network traffic and security alerts, to identify potential threats. Once a threat is detected, the SOC responds quickly to mitigate the impact and prevent further damage. This proactive approach helps organizations maintain a strong defense against cyberattacks and safeguard sensitive information.
