Transforming the SOC: Building Tomorrow’s Security Operations, Today

When you think of a security operations center (SOC), what comes to mind? Is it an organized team of security analysts and engineers who detect, analyze, and respond to incidents, always working in lockstep with business managers to execute on the security strategy? Or, is it a few analysts who spend their days reactively responding to unprioritized security issues with a variety of point tools at their fingertips?
It's these variations, and the criticality of a SOC to detecting and responding to potential threats, that brought the Cyber Resilience Think Tank (CR Think Tank) together at RSA® Conference in February 2020, to explore the benefits and drawbacks of keeping a SOC in-house versus outsourcing it, and what a successful model might look like.
