Comprehensive Data Collection
Aggregation of logs and alerts from endpoints, networks, cloud services, and industrial systems.
Security Operations Centre (SOC)
Monitor, Detect, Respond—24/7.
What It Is and Why It’s Important
A Security Operations Centre (SOC) is a dedicated team facility that provides continuous oversight of an organization’s cybersecurity landscape. It is responsible for detecting, analyzing, and responding to cybersecurity threats in real time. SOCs are particularly critical in the UAE’s evolving threat environment where cybercriminals are increasingly targeting critical infrastructure, financial institutions, and government sectors.
The SOC functions as the nerve center for cybersecurity, offering rapid threat identification, mitigating risks before damage occurs, and ensuring compliance with national and industry standards such as ISO 27001 and UAE’s National Cybersecurity Strategy.
Common Mistakes or Gaps Organizations Make
- Many organizations underestimate the necessity for 24/7 monitoring, resulting in gaps during nights and weekends.
- Relying solely on automated alerts without expert human analysis often leads to false positives or missed advanced threats.
- SOC teams are sometimes siloed and disconnected from broader business functions, reducing overall effectiveness.
- Inadequate training and high turnover can weaken SOC capabilities.
- Insufficient investment in up-to-date tools reduces detection accuracy.
