Presented by VPLS
Within a company, a SOC (Security Operations Center) is the focal point of the company’s security operations and network defense, commonly responsible for real-time monitoring, incident response, and proactive prevention of incidences. Many organizations may feel they are already doing these activities without a SOC. But SOCs vary in maturity levels and capabilities—so does your company really need one?
In this presentation, John Headley, Senior Security Engineer at VPLS, reviews the many components of a SOC to ultimately help you answer the question: “do we need our own SOC?” Join this presentation to learn:
- The importance of cybersecurity operations within an organization, including how a typical cybersecurity operations team is organized into a SOC
- What capabilities a SOC can provide to an organization
- What tools the SOC uses
- How to quantitatively self-assess if your organization should build a SOC or outsource this responsibility to a managed security services provider
