Detect cybersecurity incidents in real time and resolve issues as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Network security is a process of continuous evolution, which is mainly reflected in the following two aspects: the means of attackers are constantly changing, and attack methods and tools are also continuously updated. With the increase of devices in the network, various vulnerabilities continue to appear, providing new living space for attackers. In-network services, software systems, and staff are constantly changing, so it is unrealistic and impossible to solve all problems with one system and one solution. So, network security requires continuous investment in manpower, material resources, financial resources and other resources, as well as continuous operation, maintenance and optimization. It is based on this demand that the security operation center (SOC) came into being.
What is a Security Operations Center (SOC)?
Security Operation Center,is a facility or team. It is responsible for monitoring, analyzing and responding to security events from networks, systems and applications. Perform in-depth analysis, statistics, and correlation of various collected security events to reflect the security status of managed assets in a timely manner. Locate security risks, accurately discover and locate various security incidents, and provide timely handling methods and suggestions. Assist administrators in event analysis, risk analysis, early warning management and emergency response.
What is the main function of SOC?
Monitoring:
24/7 monitoring service, continuously monitors networks, systems and applications to detect security incidents.
Administration:
security processes, including updates and patching efforts.
Recovery:
Recover lost data, analyze compromised resources, resolve vulnerabilities and prepare for future risks.
Incident Analysis and Response:
Track, manage and respond to threats or incidents.
What are the main characteristics of SOC?
·Real-time monitoring: Real-time monitoring of the organization's network, servers, terminal devices, etc. by using tools such as the Security Information and Event Management System (SIEM).
·Linkage alarm: install an infrared detector at the front end, connect to the back-end alarm host, and connect the back-end alarm host to the sound and light alarm. Once illegal intrusion is detected, an alarm will be issued and a series of linkages will be initiated according to the settings. When various alarms are generated, the business client will collect all alarm information. Through the alarm interface, the planning and on-site scenes of each alarm linkage can be managed, and finally all kinds of alarm information can be classified and counted through alarm information statistics. It can generate linkage with video equipment at the same time, and transmit live video to the monitoring center. Real-time display terminal can realize alarm linkage function.
·Preset management: through the comprehensive safety management platform, the research and development of emergency plans can be carried out, and the input and linkage setting of various emergency plans can be realized. Resource catalogs can be formed by abstracting prearranged data elements and information resources. The integrated security management platform can automatically associate corresponding emergency plans when different police information occurs. This makes it easier for management to make decisions.
·User rights management: User management supports multiple users. Different permissions can be assigned to different users to manage subsystems and device control configurations, such as: image browsing, cloud mirroring control, TV wall operation, etc. Support user name plus password, or USB Key and other authentication methods, or user name, password + USB Key.
Why do enterprises need to establish SOC?
- Improve the visibility and rapid response capabilities of network security. This reduces the impact of security incidents on the organization.
- Improve the detection and response efficiency of security incidents. This reduces response time and reduces losses.
- Enhance the security awareness and culture of the organization. Increase employee awareness of cybersecurity.
- Establish a sustainable security framework. This allows for adaptation to changing threat environments and technological developments.
- Free employees from tedious security monitoring tasks, reduce the pressure on employees, and improve their work efficiency.
What are the benefits of a Security Operations Center?
- Fast and effective response: SOC team members can shorten the time between the first occurrence of an intrusion and the average detection time. If unusual activity is detected, SOC analysts will investigate and verify that the event is indeed an attack before blocking it. The SOC team then begins responding to the incident to determine the severity of the threat, neutralize it, and remediate any adverse effects.
- Reduce data breach incidents and operational costs: The longer an attacker remains in the system, the greater the potential damage to the business. By minimizing the amount of time cyber attackers spend lurking in corporate networks, SOC teams can reduce the impact of data breach incidents. In addition, it reduces the potential costs that a data breach incident could result in, such as data loss, lawsuits, or damage to reputation.
- Improve security: Through real-time monitoring, threat response and security event management, the SOC team can quickly discover potential security threats and make corresponding solutions. Reduce the risk of system being attacked. This helps improve overall security and protects important data and assets.
The SOC solution provided by iSEMC for you:
In order to ensure that professionals can receive information faster and more concisely, security operations centers need to use comprehensive display technology. Video wall technology is the best way to achieve this goal. iSEMC has powerful video wall technology and provides you with iSEMC visualization and collaboration solutions. Not only does this allow your team to receive information faster and more concisely, but it also provides more efficient control to protect your information from threats. With video wall technology, including video wall controllers, matrix switchers, and displays, your SOC team can arrange data in the desired order. It is then connected to a remote network to display all the information needed for real-time feedback and efficient communication.
