SOC Basics – Structure, Personnel, Coverage, and Tools

In this chapter, we will cover the landscape of what your average security operation center (SOC) looks like. We’ll discuss the structure of the specific roles within the SOC and possible sub-teams that can feed into or be part of the SOC environment. We’ll discuss strategies for alert triage, creating detections, incident response, and other important functions such as “trust but verify,” and how these functions can promote cross-team collaboration and apply to all aspects of the business. Having a strong understanding of the SOC can be critical to applying the various aspects of the ATT&CK framework. This will also allow you to evaluate the SOC environments that you might work in or interact with, and suggest possible changes, improvements, or areas for expansion. This chapter is comprised of the following sections:

SOC environments and roles
SOC environment responsibilities
SOC coverage
SOC cross-team collaboration
