ITPEC FE Subject A April 2024 Question 32
ITPEC FE Subject A April 2024 — Question 32 of 60
Security Operations Center (SOC) — identifies the specialized security team responsible for continuous monitoring and incident response.
A SOC is a dedicated team (or facility) that monitors an organization's security posture around the clock, using technology, processes, and procedures to prevent, detect, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity incidents.
Why not others:
- (a) Cybersecurity is a broad field/discipline, not an organizational team
- (b) Incident Management Center (IMC) is not a standard industry term
- (c) NOC (Network Operations Center) focuses on network availability and performance, not security incidents
Key rule: SOC = security-focused team for monitoring + incident response; NOC = network uptime team.
