Building a Security Operation Center for a financial organization. Adeyemi Adeleke>
– Adeyemi Adeleke
In May 2016, I was asked by the Chief Information Security Officer of a growing commercial bank, ‘Do I need a SOC?’ He wanted to know because a lot of contemporaries were building SOCs, and it was seen as unserious if you didn’t do the right project in the industry.Your SOC must be a proactive and strategic approach that helps your organization detect, respond to, and mitigate security threats and incidents.Building a SOC is usually based on the industry, the organization’s specific needs, risk factors, and capabilities.· Define Objectives and Scope
· Allocate Resources
· Establish Leadership
· Assemble a Skilled team
· Select a location
· Define processes and Procedures
· Select Security tools and technologies
· Develop an Incident response plan
· Develop a reporting, training, and skill development
· Develop a communication plan
A SOC should comprise People, Technology, and the Process.
