Session
This presentation will illustrate and describe our experiences in developing and running Security Operation Centers (SOCs). In this presentation, we will provide two distinct perspectives: one from a technical lead's vantage point and the other from upper management. Gain valuable insights into these complimentary viewpoints as we explore the fundamental elements of an effective SOC, address common technical challenges and offer practical solutions to them. Additionally, we will delve into the organizational and logistical intricacies involved in successfully creating and operating a SOC. Join us for an informative session that promises to equip you with a deeper understanding of SOC development and management.
