What is a Security Operations Center (SOC)?

‍A Security Operations Center (SOC) is essential for enhancing an organization’s ability to detect, respond to, and prevent cyber threats. By integrating and coordinating all cybersecurity technologies and operations, a SOC provides a unified approach to protecting your IT infrastructure.

A SOC, often pronounced "sock" and sometimes referred to as an Information Security Operations Center (ISOC), can be managed in-house or outsourced to a team of IT security professionals. This team is responsible for continuously monitoring an organization’s IT environment, including networks, systems, and applications, around the clock. The primary mission of a SOC is to detect, analyze, and respond to security incidents in real-time. This constant vigilance ensures that the organization maintains a proactive stance against potential cyber threats, enabling swift and effective responses to any security breaches.
