Security Operations Center (SOC) —
Most companies recognize the importance of having a cyber security team covering their back. A Security Operations Center is an organization’s devoted unit of security professionals, either employed in-house or outsourced.
Working round the clock, these specialists keep an eye out for anything that looks suspicious, promptly flagging any potential or actual security breaches or vulnerabilities. SOC continually gathers threat intelligence to inform and improve the overall security perimeter and maintain all technologies relating to their work and responsibilities.
With a Security Operations Center on board, all cyberattacks can be dealt with quickly before sensitive data is compromised and the cost of cyber threats escalates.
