What is Security Operations Center (SOC)?

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a team of cybersecurity personnel dedicated to monitoring and analyzing an organization’s security while responding to potential or current breaches. The team is responsible for scanning all the security systems in real time. This first line of defense works around the clock to protect an organization’s security infrastructure from potential cyber threats.

The data clearly shows that the increase in the probability of a breach is directly proportional to the cost of a data breach.

Integrating a SOCs security team into the overall security strategy can help limit the risk of being targeted by malicious threats.
