Elaborated functions of SOC

Upon the occurrence of a cybersecurity event, SOC performs the following
procedures step-by-step:

Data collection

SOC monitors networks and systems using log files, security devices, and more. With abnormal changes in predetermined functions, SOC software tracks and collects these changes.

Threat Detection

Unauthorized logins, transfers, failed login attempts, data exchange, and other suspicious activities are detected in real-time to prevent damage from occurring from a cybersecurity event. Detecting behavioral anomalies in daily functions of critical IT infrastructure creates a fundamental for preventive cyber measures.

Assessing the magnitude of the threat

The severity and potential impact of any cyber threat test the incident response measures that are predetermined and established. SIEM systems can easily assist with these operations, as with data collection and threat detection. Network traffic analysis, EDR, and behavioral analysis assist with the same and are some primary functions of SIEM.

Investigating threat

Investigating a cyber threat to assess a cyber event’s scope, magnitude, and vector is essential. The SOC team conducts an initial assessment through software and tools that identify, followed by containment measures through an incident response program. Later, the SOC team will conduct a vulnerability assessment to determine weaknesses and redefine preventive measures.

Threat containment

The SOC will use tools and techniques that contain the impact of a cyber threat, limit expansion, recover essential data and systems, and more.

Changes to the security structure

Post-incident analysis is important to determine security structure changes and address vulnerabilities exposed during a cyber event to facilitate prevention. Reviewing and analyzing data derived from SIEM tracks and SOC interpretation can help define these changes.

Reporting and further analysis

Communication is key in a cybersecurity event. Depending on the nature and scope of the cybersecurity event, it is the responsibility of the SOC team to relay and facilitate communication with other relevant teams, management, customers, and investors (if necessary).
