A security operations center (SOC) refers to a group of professionals dedicated to an organization’s cybersecurity. SOC teams are responsible for security monitoring, detecting breaches and threats, and responding to security incidents. SOC teams use advanced security tools, such as security information and event management (SIEM) systems, mobile device management (MDM) systems, extended detection and response (XDR) solutions, and threat intelligence platforms to identify and mitigate threats.
SOC analysts perform incident response, digital forensics, and threat hunting to protect an organization’s IT infrastructure from attacks and data breaches. Organizations can operate their own in-house SOCs or rely on managed security service providers (MSSPs). A well-functioning SOC is essential for maintaining a strong security posture, ensuring compliance with regulations, and minimizing the impact of cyberattacks through proactive threat detection and rapid incident response.
