Technology has become a vital organ to run a business. The impact of cyber adversaries has grown beyond proportion and ensuring continuous protection has become a daunting task. Hackers are quickly evolving and following sophisticated trends to become more prolific. Cyberattacks are worsening and speaking in volumes. To stay ahead of these threats, businesses need to invest in SOC services. Today’s information and technology infrastructure is ridden with complexity, and organizations are mostly unable to monitor threats, prevent attacks, or scale and change as threats are growing in intensity with little or no prior intimation. Therefore, without the right technology, people, and threat intelligence, it is seemingly impossible to cope. Besides, traditional SOC faces a delay in incident reaction time, which allows attackers to dwell for a longer period thus becoming successful in attacks. There is a growing problem of rising cyberthreats and the increased number of security incidents has been to hire more people in the SOC and ingest more threat intelligence feeds. This approach actually slows down the response to new threats and has become significantly less effective in today’s growing threat landscape. Security operations centres streamline the security incident handling process, and are used to triage and resolve security incidents efficiently and effectively. The concept of the SOC was invented to enable ease of collaboration among security personnel in a time when cyberattacks were primarily manual in nature. Nowadays, machine-based, automated cyberattacks are the norm and are challenging the SOC models that worked years ago. All SOCs are tasked to identify, investigate and mitigate threats within an organization. A next-generation SOC is where information systems in the data centre, endpoint and cloud are monitored, assessed and defended against cyberattacks following a methodology that utilizes security enforcement points and threat research tools that integr.
