A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a facility that houses a team of information security professionals responsible for continuously monitoring and analyzing an organization’s security posture.
The goal of the SOC team is to detect, analyze, and respond to data security incidents using a combination of technology solutions and a robust set of processes.
The SOC helps prevent these situations in advance and avoids the high costs associated with correcting such issues.
Security Operations Centers are staffed with security analysts and engineers, as well as managers who oversee security operations.
The SOC team works in conjunction with organizational incident response teams to ensure that security issues are resolved quickly after they are discovered.

Instead of spending time developing security strategies, designing security architecture, or implementing protective measures, the SOC team is responsible for the continuous operational component of corporate information security.
The Security Operations Center team primarily consists of security analysts who work together to detect, analyze, respond to, report on, and prevent cybersecurity incidents.
Some additional features of SOCs may include advanced forensics analysis, cryptanalysis, and malware reverse engineering to analyze incidents.
To prevent threats, the SOC monitors the entire IT environment, as well as the business's security solutions:
