[vc_row][vc_column][vc_wp_text el_class=”section-post-default”]Cybersecurity has become a critical issue for businesses around the world, and having a Security Operations Center (SOC) service is essential to protect all vulnerable attack surfaces. However, traditional SOCs are no longer able to cover with agility, speed and effectiveness the sophistication of today’s cyber-attacks and their constant evolution, from ransomware attacks to advanced malware and phishing. Therefore, the most effective defense approach is to have a modern SOC service in place<\/strong>. A modern SOC<\/a> monitors and protects 24\u00d77 against all cyber threats to which an organization is exposed, based on 3 fundamental requirements: technologies, processes and infrastructure, and people. <\/p>\n

Technologies<\/span><\/h2>\n

Advanced security solutions and tools<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are many companies that deploy a SOC without having security solutions deployed, with the objective of obtaining visibility only of the security events of some business assets that they consider critical, for example, some specific servers. But this approach is not the right one because if a serious incident occurs in any of the assets that are not monitored by the SOC, the company will not be aware of it until the incident spreads to the monitored assets, being already too late. <\/p>\n

If security solutions are not deployed, the following situations occur:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Reduced ability to detect internally occurring threats.<\/li>\n
  2. The ability to apply remediation actions to cyber threats is limited to disconnecting the network and local infrastructure; with a great negative impact on the business.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Therefore, first of all, it is imperative to have a high level of security with modern solutions that protect all attack surfaces<\/strong> and that are supported by detection and response tools such as:<\/p>\n
