  • Topic : Next-Gen Security Operations: From SOC to CSOC

  • Collaborators : BlockArmour & Netmonastery

Summary

Cyber-attacks are increasing in sophistication and for effective mitigation organizations must develop detection, response and recovery capabilities in addition to prevention. The Security Operations Center (SOC) serves as the foundation for incident detection and response. However, recent attacks have raised questions on the efficacy of a SOC. Is it time to move to a next-gen SOC or CSOC (Cyber Security Operations Center)?

Unlike conventional security systems that are reactive in nature, CSOC has to take into account proactive monitoring and management capabilities with sophisticated tools for detection, quick response and backed by data and tools for sound analytics.

This webinar provides insights into the current challenges being faced and a practitioner's perspective on what it takes to setup a CSOC.
