What is a SOC?
SOC stands for Security Operation Centre. In such a SOC, internal or external IT experts continuously analyse all security-relevant data in your company. The main task of the SCO team is to uncover weaknesses in the IT systems and, in the event of cyberattacks, to be able to react quickly with appropriate defence measures and protect company data.
A SOC is therefore the proactive monitoring of your company's IT (including server systems, network systems, individual endpoints and applications on employees' computers) using up-to-date threat data (known as threat intelligence). In the event of a threat or attack, a direct alert is issued and countermeasures can be taken.
IT security experts need support, e.g. from a SIEM system (Security Information and Event Management), so that they can evaluate and prioritise the usually large volumes of data that are generated.
The advantages of a SOC
IT security is becoming increasingly important - because cyberattacks are becoming more and more frequent. Managed security services such as a SOC Security Operation Centre will play an important role in many companies in the future, as it
- significantly increases IT security in the company
- protects your sensitive data from theft and damage
- relieves your internal IT department.
Thanks to the analysts who monitor your IT systems as part of a SOC, anomalies can be detected particularly quickly during operation and cyberattacks can therefore be reliably recognised and averted.
