SOC operations typically involve several key processes. First, the SOC continuously monitors the organization’s IT infrastructure using a variety of security tools and technologies such as SIEM (security information and event management) systems, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions. If an alert is triggered, SOC analysts investigate the incident to determine its nature, severity and potential impact. After assessing the incident, SOC analysts develop and implement response measures to contain and mitigate the threat.
