Welcome to Technology Trends

The security operations center (SOC) is the brain of all security operations, handling threat intelligence, events data, logs, and activity reports from various enterprises and key partners worldwide. However, the SOC is underfunded and understaffed, with staff members working with outdated tools and wrangling outdated data. Today's enterprise SOC environments are both distributed and highly localized, with many having multiple authorized global cloud providers and shadow IT cloud deployments.

Every customer is different, and no two integration journeys are the same. This whitepaper aims to simplify this process by providing a roadmap for security professionals to plan and execute any integration project:

• The security operations center (SOC) is the brain of all security operations, but it is underfunded and understaffed.
• SOC staff members often work with outdated tools, outdated data, and struggle with massive blockages to information and systems.
• Enterprise SOC environments are massively distributed and highly localized, with over a dozen authorized global cloud providers and numerous shadow IT cloud deployments.
• Issues related to IoT, remote offices, and third-party systems also pose challenges.
• Many enterprise SOCs have insufficient access to their employer’s NAT IP addresses and its many cloud environments.
• The notion that collecting 'all the data' will prevent attacks has proven to be false.
• Much of the data gathered by SOCs is useless by the time it reaches stakeholders due to private sector organizations often hesitating to share details about incidents.
• Brian Bell, the global head of cybersecurity and risk services at consulting firm Wipro, argues that threat intelligence needs to be actionable.
