The creation of a Security Operations Center (SOC) involves a structured process to enhance an organization’s cybersecurity capabilities. It begins with defining the SOC’s objectives, such as threat detection, response, and continuous monitoring. Organizations then identify required resources, including personnel, technology, and budget.

The SOC is often built around a layered approach, combining physical and virtual environments for 24/7 operation. Key performance indicators (KPIs) and regular assessments ensure the SOC’s effectiveness, adapting it to evolving threats and business needs.
