SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTER, SOC

The recently inaugurated Symantec’s Security Operations Center at Chennai happens to be the largest of the six operated globally by this world renowned Cyber Security MNC. This might mean the country coming of age in the Cyber Security arena. SOCs as days pass by would become an integral part of large IT & other enterprises who exist on the IT backbone. “Security Operations Center is a facility where an organization’s information systems like websites, application, databases, data centers & servers, desktops & endpoints are monitored, assessed and defended.”

97% of Fortune 500 Companies have been hacked. The other 3% might be, don’t know they have been. The breach to detection time lag still hovers in the range of 200 days. There is huge possibility that you may have already been a victim of cyber-attack without your knowledge. What is known itself is so scary? The unknown remains unknown. They say that ignorance is bliss. Perhaps, the most apt fix for this adage is here. Does the NOC of earlier days take care of the threat of today? Can companies manage these onslaught on their own? The answer seems to be in the negative but for few laudable exceptions.

 

Hence, we see the rise of managed services. The Chennai Symantec SOC provides managed security services, deep insight threat intelligence, incident response & host of other facilities. These SOCs are powered by world’s largest civilian threat intelligence network. They harnessing the power of Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence to shuffle through trillions of telemetry data. The Symantec SOC’s process over 150 billion security logs, detect over 18 million events & analyze over 64,000 security events, worldwide daily.

Nonetheless, the Cyber Security landscape is deteriorating, the threat vectors are on the increase. In Security, technologies change, mindsets don’t. A cumulative SOCs onslaught may stem the tide. It is certainly the operational teeth we can rely on.

SOCs ARE A MANDATORY ELEMENT OF OUR DIGITAL FUTURE.
