What is a Security Operations Center (SOC)?

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is the nerve center of cybersecurity, responsible for continuously monitoring, detecting, analyzing, and responding to cybersecurity threats using a combination of technology, processes, and skilled personnel.

🧠 Traditional SOCs rely heavily on human analysts to sift through vast amounts of data — leading to fatigue, delayed responses, and missed threats.

🤖 The Game-Changer: AI in SOC

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into SOCs enhances threat detection, automates incident responses, and improves overall security efficiency. This shift from reactive to proactive security significantly reduces response times and improves accuracy.
