What are Security Operations Centres?
A Security Operations Centre (SOC) is a facility where enterprise information systems (e.g. web sites, databases, data centres and servers, networks, etc) are monitored, assessed, and defended. Depending on the nature of the SOC, organisations may offer a variety of services including monitoring, detection, threat hunting, incident management, log analysis, forensic imaging, malware analysis, reverse engineering, mitigation advice and general good practice guidance.
If your organisation is considering achieving our Security Operations Centre accreditation and becoming a member, you can download our accreditation standard for this discipline on our Accreditation Standards page.
