The core of a Security Operations Center (SOC) is the permanent monitoring of a defined IT environment with regard to security-relevant events. This usually involves analyzing log files and/or data traffic for suspicious information. The aim is to uncover threat scenarios (‘Detect’) and the subsequent, individually appropriate counter-reaction (‘Response’).
While large enterprises often operate their own SOCs or so-called Cyber Defense Centers (CDC), this is often not worthwhile for medium-sized companies, since on the one hand qualified SOC analysts are rare, a lot of specific expertise lies in the platforms and tools of professional SOC providers, and ultimately the complexity increases significantly with 24×7 monitoring.
This 24×7 model is often regarded as the “standard”, but for small and medium-sized companies, reduced scopes that can be supplemented by on-call services, for example, are often also suitable as a start.
In many cases a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is integrated into the SOC
SIEM
platforms read log files from various sources and analyze the data for anomalies via correlations. SIEM platforms
are often used in security. However, their use is not limited to security, but can also be used to analyze
non-security data for anomalies, depending on the use case.
