In today’s world, cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, posing a significant threat to businesses and organisations. In order to combat these threats, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) have become an essential part of any organisation’s cybersecurity strategy.
The global Security Operations Center (SOC) market size is expected to reach $13.50 billion by 2030 as concerns associated with cyber-attacks and data breach, and the need for continuous monitoring and analysis of data activity continue to rise.
A SOC is a centralised facility responsible for monitoring, detecting, analysing, and responding to cybersecurity incidents in real-time. It combines people, processes, and technology to protect an organisation’s digital assets from cyber threats. The team at a SOC comprises security analysts, threat hunters, incident responders, and engineers who work together to identify and mitigate cybersecurity risks.
The SOC is a critical component of an organisation’s cybersecurity strategy as it helps detect and respond to cyber threats faster, minimising the damage caused by a potential breach. It provides continuous monitoring of an organisation’s digital assets and detects any abnormal behaviour. By implementing a SOC, organisations can improve their cyber resilience by proactively identifying and mitigating future cyber threats.
Help AG, the cybersecurity arm of e& enterprise, recently shared 4 ways a SOC can transform your cyber defence strategy in today’s digital landscape:
- Detect and verify
Ensure that your systems remain uncompromised by constantly monitoring and verifying the impact of allowed activities - Mitigate threats
A SOC proactively stops and mitigates malicious activities, helping you safeguard your organisation from cyber threats. - Analyse behaviour patterns
A SOC focuses on understanding the behaviour of users, devices and systems to identify suspicious activities before they become critical issues - Assess behaviour impact
Understanding the impact of a specific behaviour allows the SOC to determine and prioritise the appropriate response.
