What is SOC? How does it work?

Security Operations Center (SOC) is where tools and processes are centralized to monitor, detect, and respond to cybersecurity incidents. An effective SOC must integrate three key elements: technology, people, and processes.

• Continuous monitoring: SOC continuously collects data from various system sources, such as servers, applications, networks, and other devices. This data is then analyzed to detect suspicious behavior and potential attacks.
• Security event analysis: By using advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning, SOC can analyze millions of security events daily to identify security vulnerabilities or signs of attacks.
• Rapid response: When abnormal signs are detected, SOC immediately deploys countermeasures and investigates the cause to minimize the damage to the business.

SOC not only provides an overview of a company's cybersecurity status but also can predict potential threats, helping businesses be more proactive in addressing risks.

The role of SOC in protecting businesses

With the rapid growth of cyberattacks, having a SOC is essential for modern businesses. SOC plays a crucial role in safeguarding companies from cyber threats by:

• Early detection and threat prevention: An effective SOC will identify attacks in their early stages, preventing them before they can cause serious damage.
• Ensuring compliance with cybersecurity regulations: SOC helps businesses comply with international information security standards like GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001, thus avoiding legal risks.
• Protecting data and digital assets: With continuous monitoring capabilities, SOC helps protect sensitive information, customer data, and intellectual property from cyberattacks.
• Maintaining business continuity: SOC ensures that a company's systems remain uninterrupted by cyberattacks, helping maintain continuous and stable business operations.
