How to Build a Cisco Security Operations Center Architecture, Processes, and Outputs
Overview A Cisco Security Operations Center (SOC) can help to protect the network and the customers' networks and business traffic. Carefully balancing technology, processes, and people, a Cisco SOC equips to continuously monitor networks for security incidents and then react quickly when such threats arise. In fact, speed of response is a prime attraction of a Cisco SOC. Computer worms can spread throughout the Internet in minutes or even seconds, potentially knocking out the customers' networks or slowing traffic to a crawl. This paper examines the need for SOCs, describing their roles and functions and highlighting their benefits. It then explains the steps to constructing the Cisco SOC architecture and presents the six phases of effective incident response.
