Security operations that builds rigor into strategy

Security operations is concerned with the day-to-day access and security of system resources. Organizations that develop effective security operation centers combine event correlation along with automation and orchestration, all to increase clarity, reduce dwell time and eliminate risk where it matters most.

Security Operations Center (SOC) of the Future

Just as the opposable thumb was a game-changing evolutionary adaptation for humans—enabling us to grasp tools, solve problems, and ultimately thrive in complex environments—the SOC of the Future represents a critical leap forward in the evolution of cybersecurity. Thumbs gave humans the precision and dexterity to build and innovate; similarly, modern SOCs must embrace advanced technologies, streamlined processes, and skilled teams to gain the precision and agility needed to respond to ever-evolving threats. Without evolving beyond traditional methods, SOCs risk being as ineffective as a humans without thumbs trying to use a tool.
