Not too long ago, security operations centers (SOCs) and the enterprise security executives and the staff who ran them were relegated to airless basement offices with little security equipment that did no more than monitor video and manage guards.
Today’s SOCs have evolved into large financial investments that include surveillance and security technologies that enable an enterprise security executive to monitor global threats in real-time, tie in video feeds from other business units, employ analysts who monitor social media, share data with other enterprises, and more. They can form the heart of an enterprise’s operational defense against advanced physical and cyber-attacks.
