A security operations center (SOC) is a facility housing an information security team responsible for the ongoing surveillance and evaluation of an organization’s security status. The SOC team’s objective is to detect, analyze, and address cybersecurity issues using a combination of technology and established protocols. Security operations centers typically employ security analysts, engineers, and operations managers. SOC personnel work closely with organizational incident response teams to promptly address any identified security vulnerabilities.
