SOC (security operations center)

Building a Security Operations Center
building a SOC requires collaboration and communication among multiple functions (people), disparate security products (technology), and varying processes and procedures (processes)

  • The Five Characteristics of an Intelligence-Driven Security Operations Center



Key Challenges
Traditional security operations centers:
Rely primarily on prevention technologies, and rule and signature-based detection mechanisms that require prior knowledge of attacker methods, both of which are insufficient to protect against current threats
Treat intelligence (TI) as a one-way product to be consumed, rather than as a process, leading to an intelligence-poor security strategy
Treat incident response as an exception-based process, versus a continuous one

Recommendations
Adapt a mindset that is based on the assumption that they have already been compromised

an intelligence-driven SOC approach with these five characteristics:
use multisourced threat intelligence strategically and tactically;
use advanced analytics to operationalize security intelligence
automate whenever feasible
adopt an adaptive security architecture
proactively hunt and investigate

  • An information security operations center (or "SOC") is a location where enterprise information systems (web sites, applications, databases, data centers and servers, networks, desktops and other endpoints) are monitored, assessed, and defended.

  • You see servers and devices, apps and logs, traffic and clouds. We see data—everywhere. Splunk® offers the leading platform for Operational Intelligence. 
Machine-generated data is one of the fastest growing and complex areas of big data. It's also one of the most valuable, containing a definitive record of all user transactions, customer behavior, machine behavior, security threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk turns machine data into valuable insights no matter what business you're in. It's what we call Operational Intelligence
