What Is a Security Operations Center?

Imagine a central command center for your organization’s security. That’s the Security Operation Center (SOC). It combines skilled analysts, advanced tools, and well-defined procedures to constantly monitor your defenses. This vigilance helps prevent attacks, detect threats early on, analyze their nature, and swiftly respond to any security incidents. Ultimately, the SOC works tirelessly to improve your overall security posture.

The SOC acts as your security nerve center, constantly gathering data from every corner of your IT infrastructure – networks, devices, applications, and data storage – regardless of location. This comprehensive view is crucial in today’s complex threat landscape, as advanced attacks often rely on scattered clues. Essentially, the SOC is where all security events from your monitored systems converge. Here, analysts analyze each event and determine the most effective response, ensuring a swift and coordinated defense against cyber threats.

Monitor data, detect incidents, investigate and give out warnings and react accordingly.
– Security Information and Event Management software.

SIEM stands for security information and event management and provides organizations with next-generation detection, analytics, and response.
NetNordic offers a centralized Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system. The system monitors the customer’s information systems and networks, and issues alerts when it detects abnormal events or chains of events. The system of is comprised of components used for machine learning, analysis of globally collected threat data, correlation systems and threat assessment.

NetNordic SIEM enables a full view for our SOC-customers and allows them to view different components, build reports and follow real-time log data.
A SIEM and a SOC complement each other – the SIEM allows for log data analysis and collection, while the SOC consists of people, processes and technology designed to deal with security events picked up from the SIEM.
