Most SOCs are unable to keep up with the attacks of today due to structure constraints surrounding outdated architecture. That structure does not scale to protect the rapidly changing, distributed environments that SOCs are required to defend from attackers that have risen in both number and sophistication. To counter, SOCs must evolve to become 'Next-Gen'. This talk will present concrete steps organizations can take to evolve from today's rigid structures into a dynamic, agile entity that can quickly react to threats of today and tomorrow. The presentation groups these steps into three phases demonstrating clear paths to grow people, modify processes, and change technologies. Additionally, recommendations will be given for adaptations that still provide the advance capabilities needed to protect a variety of enterprise types. Organizations can use the strategies discussed in this talk to help them develop multi-year plans that can protect the enterprise.
