A SOC is a centralized facility within an organization that serves as the central hub for overseeing and managing the security of its information systems and overall infrastructure. The primary objective of a SOC is to provide a real-time, comprehensive view of the organization’s security posture, enabling swift identification and response to internal and external threats. The SOC can be seen as the digital counterpart to the physical security measures an organization has in place.
In physical security, organizations implement various measures to prevent unauthorized access to buildings and protect assets. Some examples of these measures include the following:
- Guard stations: These serve as checkpoints where security personnel monitor and control access to the premises
- Guards: Trained security professionals who patrol the premises, respond to incidents, and enforce security protocols
- Cameras: Surveillance systems that capture footage of activities...
