Research Desk

The second article of the “Future of the Security Operations Center (SOC)” series discusses what is arguably the most important component of a SOC—its people. Geared towards cyber security practitioners, including those who are just beginning their journey in security operations, as well as SOC leaders who are wrestling with finding the desired balance between outsourcing and insourcing their operations, this article conceptualizes the problems and reimagines solutions for the people side of your SOC.

Deloitte + Google Cloud: Future of the SOC

Research Desk

Today’s Security Operations Centre are facing complexity on two fronts: the sprawling technology landscapes and a proliferation of threats seeking to take advantage of it. The modern day SOC must empower its analysts to derive value from its various security functions, while increasing their efficiency through collaboration. This white paper, written jointly by Deloitte and Google Cloud, defines the key factors that are shaping the modern Security Operations Centre and the challenges SOCs must overcome.

How SOAR Is Transforming Threat Intelligence

Research Desk

Many SOCs use security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platforms to manage alerts across all sources, standardize processes with playbooks, and automate response for any security use case. However, there is still a significant gap when it comes to threat intelligence management. Security teams always rely on siloed threat intelligence platforms (TIPs) to provide visibility into external threats. Still, TIPs are failing to live up to their promises as teams struggle to take automated actions on relevant indicators across disjointed threat feeds. It’s time for a different approach. This white paper talks about how Palo Alto Networks needs to transform threat intelligence by integrating it into an extensible SOAR platform enabling analysts to take full control over their threat intelligence combined with the power of proven SOAR capabilities.
