Security Operations Center (SOC) Best Practices
Summary
Additionally, a lack of understanding of the importance of security and its value to the business can make it difficult for the SOC to acquire the funding, resources, and personnel it needs to do its job. However, new tools provide diminishing returns and must be deployed, configured, and monitored, which takes resources away from identifying and managing other threats. The longer that an attacker has access to an organization’s environment, the greater the opportunity to steal sensitive data, plant malware, or do other damage to the company. Corporate IT environments now include on-prem and cloud-based systems, remote workers, and mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Continuous monitoring enables more rapid threat detection and response, reducing the potential cost and impact of attacks on the organization.
