Data protection is one of the biggest challenges organizations face working online and safeguarding their computer networks against threats. On the flip side, hackers are looking out for innovative methods to attack networks to gain access to personal data while putting the organization in jeopardy.
Here’s where a Security Operations Centre (SOC) shows up to help businesses recognize, mitigate, and report threats to prevent attacks in the near future.
The systems that the SOC teams work on are quite often not capable of providing sufficient knowledge and data to make informed decisions. This leads to a waste of time and effort that could be otherwise used to analyze and resolve threats accurately.
So, let’s take a look at a few challenges that organizations may face while setting up a SOC team and how they can leverage analytical technologies to combat these challenges.
Insufficient Knowledge
Lack of knowledge is equivalent to lack of skill. The root cause of system management failure is inadequate knowledge about protecting the system environment. This could result in failed attempts or inappropriate responses to unreal problems. If such results are obtained, it is a complete waste of time for SOC teams tracking the issue, leading to a diversion when encountering an actual attack.
Shortage of Adequate Tools
SOC teams need new security tools in order to uplift data and also to shift from a data center to a cloud environment. The dearth of proper detection and management tools is often a result of speedy developments in the systems environment being controlled. Applications require protection developed and deployed in systems. Unfortunately, the SOC has no access to such networks or steps in the environment, thereby making it the biggest challenge for them.
