Security Operations Centres (SOC's) were an inevitable and natural part of the growth of the internet.
From the late 1980's the SOC's emerged as early defence systems for the manual monitoring of networks and in particular log files. With a market driven mainly by the military it was not surprising it was going to trip into industry when businesses and organisations realised the power of the Internet and the Web but also realised the threat and vulnerability.
SOC's never needed a business case for its existence. It was a given. Firmly established by headlines of various major incidents in the 1990s and more commonly viruses (a rampant problem for large corporates), SOC's become the de-facto insurance policy for peace of mind of the Board and the SME.
Evolution of SOC's saw a morphing of the term into enhanced managed services (SIEM), followed by game keepers for Advanced Persistent Threats (APT's) and onto major areas of data compliance and governance assistance for its ever growing demands, from growing market demand.
The further evolution into emerging architecture of Cloud saw yet another stage of evolution – the CloudSOC. Security Orchestration and Response (SOAR) did just that – soar. To be without a SOC offering SOAR was and is unthinkable.
What now for a modern evolutionary SOC? It is clear that there needs to be a bringing together of threat intelligence, SOAR, compliance and business security solutions.
At ScryptX™, we recognised the toolset the modern SOC needed to bring about market driven requirements from it – a natural extension into business security solutions. ScyrptX™ family of products with its parent, ScipherX™ is built around every aspect of the SOC market needs.
