How to Build an Effective Security Operations Center

Taking a coordinated security approach is one way to leave no loopholes. By this, we are referring to a cybersecurity architecture that comprises a team and security components working together in sync to provide more effective security operations as opposed to the usual fragmented approach, which often leaves businesses without a coordinated response to threats.

Today, most organizations are taking this holistic approach to cybersecurity by setting up security operations centers to monitor and defend their establishments from many online security risks, including data breaches, insider threats, ransomware attacks, and sophisticated nation-state attacks.
