As the threat landscape evolves rapidly, cyber protection needs to keep pace. Your Security Operations Center (SOC) is the front line of network defense, charged with preventing an attack before it happens. To be effective, your SOC must be matured and capable of detecting, investigating and responding to complex and persistent attacks.
However, global findings indicate that many SOCs are below target maturity levels, and unable to detect advanced attacks.This makes organizations vulnerable, placing their most sensitive and valuable assets at risk.
While powerful protection is the prime reason for developing, maturating and improving the capabilities of your SOC, increasing regulatory pressure and compliance requirements also play a part.
In this step-by-step DIY guide, you will learn how to assess the current maturity levels of your SOC, establish your desired level and chalk out your developmental roadmap.
People (trained and skilled security specialists), processes (for incident response and management) and technology (tools to collect and analyze data) are the foundation of SOC operations. This guide focuses on the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution, which is an established platform for maturity modeling.
