Modernize Your SOC With Strategic Insights And Expert Guidance For Proactive Cyber Resilience
SecOps Challenges
Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are the core component defending your organization against today's complex and rapidly evolving threats, but they face many challenges. These obstacles can limit visibility, delay response, and drain valuable resources. Understanding these hurdles is the first step toward building a more resilient, high-performing SOC.
Operational Burden
SOC teams are dealing with a significant operational strain. They’re overwhelmed by manual, repetitive tasks, from maintaining disparate tools and integrating systems to sifting through a constant influx of uncorrelated alerts. Furthermore, Issues with security tools and management were a contributing factor in nearly 40% of cases1 seen by Unit 42, allowing attackers to establish footholds and escalate privileges undetected. This drains valuable resources, stifles innovation, and leaves little to no time for strategic planning or proactive security initiatives.
Expanding Attack Surface & Visibility Gaps
The rapid adoption of new technologies - driven by business innovation - is escalating your attack surface, introducing critical vulnerabilities and dangerous blind spots that fall outside existing detection funnels. In 75% of incidents, critical evidence of the initial intrusion was present in the logs but wasn't readily accessible or effectively operationalized, leading to attackers exploiting these gaps, undetected2. Without a comprehensive view of these expanding risks, SOCs remain reactive, scrambling to integrate data and address gaps often only discovered during an incident.
Evolving Threats & Adversary Automation
Attackers aren't just evolving. They're automating their attacks and leveraging AI to continuously refine their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). This places immense, sustained pressure on your SecOps teams. Many SOCs lack the critical time and resources to validate and update playbooks or proactively tune detections. This significantly hinders their ability to effectively keep pace with attackers and prioritize critical risk, leaving them one step behind.
