Four Capacities of a Cutting-Edge SOC

 

What is SOC?

Nowadays, information technology is used to align with the business strategy and at the same time the strategy is used for IT business which are considered as the best competitive edge in the market.

Security Operation Center or SOC operates 24/7 monitoring traffic via a security incident and event management system through a secure internet gateway. All processes within the SOC are ratified by ASIO Team for Security approval.

The SOC is staffed by the government cleared specialized security engineers. These engineers manage the individual security events, fine-tune any response, and record all activities for reporting purposes later.

Capacities of Cutting Edge SOC

Correlation and Secure Incident

SOC services correlate all security events to find those that exhibit attack characteristics; meanwhile, less sinister-looking events are monitored limit by any sign of stealth attack.

The SOC is linked to and receives an intelligence feed from national and international cybersecurity bodies these agencies. SOC engineers continuously fine-tune the mitigation tools to capture as many security threats as possible.

SOC is supported by a hosting management center; this is responsible for assuring the availability of the hardware and systems in the secure internet gateway this leaves SOC engineers free to concentrate completely on securing government gateways. Both SOC and HMC share the same event correlation and secure incident.

Eliminate false Positives

A legitimate user typing the wrong password can look the same as a brute-force attack, which randomly generates passwords for the recently stolen user ID.

Attacks today propagate every quickly, so the response needs to be immediate. The tool should be automated to take mitigation action immediately.

Automation

SOC services seeking to improve the capacities in threat intelligence operation and the incident response would automate the process where it can.

Next-generation SOC utilizes SOAR (Security Orchestration Automation and Response) to perform actionable insights and interaction with another component in the network.

Machine learning would boost threat hunting and investigation. By machine learning, we can do amazing things like fingerprint access, etc.

Machine learning tools help SOC to track malicious activity by pinpointing deviations from normal network or application behavior.

Big Data and AI (Artificial Intelligence)

SOC services push forward the limit of a dimensional paradigm. They are need to increase the detection surface and decision velocity, decrease reaction time by utilizing big data analytics combined with AI.

SOC prevents breaches from happening by leveraging big data and supercomputing capabilities.
