The program focuses on creating new career opportunities through extensive, meticulous knowledge with enhanced level capabilities for dynamically contributing to a SOC team. Being an intense 3-day program, it thoroughly covers the fundamentals of SOC operations, before relaying the knowledge of log management and correlation, SIEM deployment, advanced incident detection, and incident response. Additionally, the candidate will learn to manage various SOC processes and collaborate with CSIRT at the time of need.
What Is SOC?
A SOC stands for Security Operations Center, which is a team of cybersecurity personnel dedicated to monitoring and analyzing an organization’s security while responding to potential or current breaches. The team is responsible for scanning all the security systems in real-time. This first line of defense works around the clock to protect an organization’s security infrastructure from potential cyber threats.
Why Must Organizations Have Log Management and SOC?
The common roles and responsibilities of a penetration tester are summarized here:
comply with applicable regulatory standards such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, RMiT, ISO 27001, and others.
Protect their servers that store sensitive data from internal and external threats.
Secure proprietary information and intellectual property.
Log management is an organized approach to deal with large volumes of computer-generated log data. It allows multiple operations on data – its generation, collection, centralization, parsing, transmission, storage, archival, and disposal.
Besides log management, SOC professionals can also integrate SIEM tools – Security Information and Event Management in their process. These software tools aggregate security data from multiple sources, such as network devices, servers, and other locations. SIEM tools then connect the dots to discover the trends and detect cyber threats so that organizations can act on the alerts.
