Security Operations Center (SOC)

A team and platform dedicated to continuously monitoring, detecting, and responding to security threats.

A SOC is the combination of people, process, and technology responsible for an organization's ongoing security monitoring. It can be built in-house or outsourced (as with THREAT-WATCH's SOC-grade platform). A functioning SOC ingests telemetry from endpoints, networks, and cloud services, correlates it to detect real threats, and coordinates the response when something is found.
