In this era of exponential digital connectivity, every company’s operations, revenue, reputation and brand is at risk. The most optimal way for companies to treat cybersecurity with focus, investment, people and technologies, is to prioritize cybersecurity inside the organization with an internal SOC team.
However, the dilemma for the SOC, as explained above, is the amount of time it takes from infection to detection – 200 days, plus an additional 80 days to resolve. So why is it taking longer to detect, respond and remediate breaches – this is due to the amount of data swapping within the organization and multitude of systems used, as well as human resourcing implications.
The main challenge for SOCs is getting to systems before damage is caused, which in turn has a knock-on effect on systems, revenue, data and brand. SOC analysts require incident alerts from a diverse infrastructure & in depth detail to evaluate the criticality. According to research- SOCs are struggling to do what they are supposed to do.
