As the security landscape is expanding, a SOC team offers high quality IT-security services to actively detect potential cyber threats/ attacks and quickly respond to security incidents. Organizations need skilled SOC Analysts who can serve as the front-line defenders,warning other professionals of emerging and present cyber threats.

To handle these sophisticated threats, enterprises need advanced cybersecurity solutions along with traditional methods of defense.Practicing good cybersecurity hygiene and implementing an appropriate line of defense, and incorporating a security operations center (SOC) have become reasonable solutions. The team pursues twenty-four-hour and “follow-the-sun” coverage for performing security monitoring, security incident management, vulnerability management, security device management, and network flow monitoring.

A SOC Analyst continuously monitors and detects potential threats,triages the alerts, and appropriatley escalates them. Without a SOC analyst, processes such as monitoring, detection, analysis, and triaging will lose their effectiveness, ultimately negatively affecting the organization.
