Tech Brief: Is your SOC ready for the next-generation threat?

Just as hackers develop new offensive tools, tactics and procedures, agencies must constantly change their techniques to match today’s sophisticated threats. A “next-generation” Security Operations Center (SOC) lets defenders find these new threats while making networks harder to exploit and data more secure. While most organizations already have the tools for a next-generation SOC, a full transition will allow analysts to hone their skills so they become more effective and efficient, stopping threats faster than ever before. The hunt is on The primary goal of a next-generation SOC is to identify and respond to cyberthreats in rapid fashion – even the so-called “unknown-unknowns” that do not meet any predefined rules. Tools alone will not stop malicious actors, as they’ve continually learned to evade and adapt to the latest tech. With a transition to a next-generation SOC, these threats can be quickly discovered, allowing security analysts to find the unfindable, such […]
