With most of our business resources now nestled in the digital landscape, cyber attacks are becoming an increasingly prevalent threat to business network security and operational integrity. To prevent these attacks, one solution has proven to be incredibly effective - the Cyber Security Operational Center.
What is a Cyber Security Operations Center and why is it important for your business?
A Cyber Security Operations Center (SOC) is a centralized system that acts as a digital hub for security operations in a company’s network. SOCs constantly monitor your organization’s digital networks to detect and prevent cyber attacks that could threaten the integrity of your networks and business operations.
These are complex systems that usually require experienced professionals to run optimally but, once they are in place, provide your business with a robust digital security solution that will protect you against even the most sophisticated cyber threats.
These teams are trained to run and tailor your SOC to ensure that your company assets, such as business systems, intellectual property and personnel data are fully protected from cyber attacks and insider threats.
They are in charge of devising and implementing your company’s digital security strategy and coordinating all protective measures, allowing your staff to focus on their objectives without the worry of cyber threats.
Why is a Security Operations Center so important?
Any business operating in the 21st century utilizes the wonders of the digital world to run their company operations and store sensitive data. Without proper security measures in place, these assets are at great risk of being exposed to cyber attacks, often providing cyber criminals with valuable ammunition to cause your business serious financial and reputational damage. Currently, damages incurred from cybercrimes are estimated to reach a shocking $6 trillion by 2021, with that number only seeming to increase as cyber criminals become more innovative.
If you want peace of mind, and you’re interested in maintaining a successful and forward-thinking business, implementing a SOC is an absolute no-brainer!
