What is a Security Operations Center (SOC) ?
A Security Operation Center (SOC) is a command center of skilled security personnel, processes, and technologies to continuously monitor for malicious activity while preventing, detecting, and responding to cyber incidents.
Many business experts refer to the SOC as a centralized command, aggregating telemetry across a company's IT infrastructure, spanning network devices, computers, and cloud applications. Over the last decade, the proliferation of threats has the business adopting a layered approach to security, leading to various point products generating volumes of threat data to be monitored. Analyzing such information and acting upon it contributes to the expansion of the Managed SOC business.
Cyber Security Hive's SOC operates 24-7 and offers the best SOC as a service in India, with employees working in shifts to monitor network activity continually and mitigate threats. A SOC can be internally, entirely, or partially outsourced to external providers.
Benefits of a SOC
Reduce Cyber Security Headcount Costs
Finding skilled candidates and hiring internally for many cyber-related positions is difficult due to the lack of security professionals available for hire. The Cyber security Workforce Study Report by (ISC) ² estimates that by 2021, the global cyber security skill shortage can exceed four million vacant job openings. When you do notice one, they aren't cheap. Partnering with a SOC allows your immediate business access to security expertise without the financial burden of hiring internally.
Reduce Dwell Time & Financial Impact
Dwell time is the period an attacker goes undetected on the network when initial access has occurred. Each minute an attacker dwells inside the network, the greater the potential for damage. SOCs shorten the dwell time from months to minutes, reducing the financial impact of an intrusion.
24/7 monitoring
Adversaries don't work 9-5, nor do they adhere to a conventional Monday-Friday 40-hour work week. Businesses are under relentless assault 24/7. A 24/7 SOC doesn't stop when business owners are asleep; instead, it proactively hunts and monitors for threat indicators, even throughout holidays and weekends.
Threat Triage, Remediation, and Incident Isolation
Numerous products throughout the layers of security produce mountains of threat information. It is where security analysts triage the investigation method of determining. Some SOCs give remediation guidance, others offer a remediation solution to fix the threat, and others offer a combination of the two. When a crucial threat is escalated to an incident, in several cases, the need to 'contain' the spread to different devices is essential; this is where device isolation comes into play.
Security Stack Insight & Compatibility
Most managed service providers have an existing stack of security technologies where vendor selections and investments have already transpired. It includes firewalls, next-gen antivirus, email security, DNS, authentication, etc., operating with a SOC that supports your existing layers of security (stack) and delivers immediate insight across major attack vectors while consolidating the threat telemetry in one single pane of glass, and across the fleet of managed customers.
