How we built a Next-Gen Security Operation Center (SOC)

Pain points of traditional SOC

As business digitisation opens up opportunities to companies, they also bring new digital vulnerabilities at the same time. Hence, the implementation of a holistic programme of effective cybersecurity and privacy measures is more important than ever, including having advanced security monitoring capabilities. Traditional SOC that focus on perimeter security with many blind spots not being covered, monitoring of individual technologies and application systems, etc., may not be relevant and effective anymore in a digital-enabled business world.

Summarized below are some of the common pain points and constraints we have seen in traditional SOC.

Unable to detect sophisticated cyber incidents
Perimeter focused
Blind spots not being covered
Manual processes in incident detection & escalation
Events Per Second (EPS) constraints in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool
Lack of expertise in security monitoring, cyberattack simulation & incident response
