What is Security Operation Center (SOC)?

A Security Operations Center (SOC) enhances an organization's ability to detect, respond to, and prevent cyber threats by centralizing and coordinating all cybersecurity technologies and operations. Operating around the clock, the SOC's primary functions include continuous monitoring, threat prevention, detection, investigation, and response. SOC teams are responsible for safeguarding the organization's assets, which encompass intellectual property, personnel data, business systems, and brand integrity.

The SOC team plays a pivotal role in implementing the organization's overall cybersecurity strategy. It serves as the central hub for collaboration, ensuring coordinated efforts to monitor, assess, and defend against cyberattacks. By unifying cybersecurity operations, the SOC significantly improves the organization's resilience against evolving cyber threats.
