Session Title | SOC From Cyber Deterrence Perspective

Security Operation Centers are usually composed of 3 tiers, usually, the implementation of a SOC starts by getting Tier 1 (SOC Analysts) onboard then Tier 2 (Incident Responders) & finally, and maybe never Tier 3 (Threat Hunters) ... But what if this sequence is drastically reducing the value of the SOC and making the enterprise more prone to lose? What if there was a better sequence of implementation that secures better the enterprise, increases the SOC value and decreases security losses? Enterprises need to be proactive rather than reactive in the way they handle security and must focus on preventing incidents while they remain threats rather than wait for the disaster to happen and handle it as an incident. In this session, we will look at SOC from a proactive rather than reactive perspective, from an attacker rather than attack perspective, ... From a security ... Rather than compliance perspective.
