The State of the SOC

Global security operations center (SOC) professionals, chief information security officers (CISOs), chief information officers (CIOs), cybersecurity analysts and other IT management roles are constantly battling the growing cyberthreat landscape. At the top of the security chain of command are the CISOs, who are consistently keeping data safe, secure and accessible at all times.

Despite this high-pressure responsibility, they also have to deal with business challenges, governance, risk and compliance. Together, they are the critical frontline outpost of cyber-defense.

SOCs become critical to helping a CISO ensure all potential security incidents and risks are identified, examined, defended against and reported. With thousands of new adversaries and security vulnerabilities appearing each day, being a security professional can be extremely challenging. As a result, security professionals can face extreme stress and fatigue. Organizations also struggle to update technology, retain employees and hire new talent.

In addition, CISOs and other members of the C-suite may be out of touch with the everyday challenges their SOC teams are facing. Oftentimes, this causes a false sense of confidence when it comes to how well a SOC can respond in the face of a cybersecurity crisis.
