The Ultimate Guide to Security Operations Centre
2025 edition
Overview
Also known as SOC.
Generally operated by larger organisations or as a shared service provided by a Managed Services Provider, the Security Operations Centre is a centralized function handling information security issues, challenges, protective measures, and intelligence. The SOC is tasked with managing and maintaining organisational security posture, and typically addresses the issue from the three related factors of people, process and technology, a combination of which is essential for appropriate cybersecurity risk mitigation.
