Frequently asked questions about MSOC
A Security Operation Center (SOC) is a centralized function within an organization employing people, processes, and technology to continuously monitor and improve an organization’s security posture while preventing, detecting, analyzing, and responding to cybersecurity incidents.
Cyber threat hunting is a proactive security search through networks, endpoints, and datasets to hunt malicious, suspicious, or risky activities that have evaded detection by existing tools. Thus, there is a distinction between cyber threat detection versus cyber threat hunting. Threat detection is a somewhat passive approach to monitoring data and systems for potential security issues, but it’s still a necessity and can aid a threat hunter. Proactive cyber threat hunting tactics have evolved to use new threat intelligence on previously collected data to identify and categorize potential threats in advance of attack.
Politely put, the majority of almost every breach victim over recent times had such cyber defenses in place also.
Breach Detection was developed specifically to detect intruders who have already evaded such firewalls and antivirus systems. It is equally important to reduce the ‘dwell time’ when an intruder does gain access to the network and deter their activity before the last tactical goal has been accomplished, which in most scenarios is the theft of data.
