SOC

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a team or facility of security analysts responsible for continuously monitoring and responding to cybersecurity threats. SOC analysts triage alerts from SIEM and other tools, investigate incidents, and coordinate response. SOCs operate on a 24/7/365 basis for organizations with high-security requirements. Many organizations use Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to provide SOC capabilities rather than building in-house teams.
