The broader aspects of SoC

 Enables organizations to clearly understand

-Who has access to what within their IT environment?

-What is happening in that environment?

-What actions need to be taken based on this information

Security information management

    current problem of the organizations:

 - Compliance:

Monitor and validate regulatory compliance

 - Business continuity:

Proactively contain the increasing threats and vulnerabilities

 - Operational Efficiencies and Enablement: 

Manage millions of events (reduce noise) and manage key security threats for business critical assets

 - Align security to business

     The solution

 - Collect, Analyze, and respond through security information management

 - End to end security information management: collection through analysis, remediation, reporting and forensics

 - Establish knowledge of internal vulnerabilities and network exploits

 - Help demonstrate compliance with industry and regulatory standards

The main functions of a SOC

1. Real-time monitoring/management

       - Aggregate logs

       - Aggregate more than logs

       - Coordinate response and remediation

       - Bird eye view from security perspective

2. Reporting/ custom views

       - Security professionals

       - Executives

       - Auditors

       - Consistent

3. After-Action Analysis

       - Forensics

       - Investigation

Virtues of a SOC: Cost efficiency, measurable improvements in availability, lower risk, relevance to the business, transparency, passing audits, consistency, reproduce-ability.

 Prioritization and remediation

     1) Deal with what's most relevant to the business first!

     2) Gather asset data

     3) Gather business priorities

     4) Understand the business context of an incident

Break- down  the IT silos

      1) Coordinate responses

      2) inform all who need to know of an incident

      3) Work with existing ticketing/ work flow systems

    Threat *weakness* business value = Risk

    Deal with business risk

Investigation and forensics

     1) Being able to investigate and manipulate data

     2) Visualization

     3) Post-event correlation

     4) Managing by case/incident

     5) Chain of custody

     6) Integrity of data

Analogy to record keeping

     - Primary and secondary logs

       Some logs are more important than others- how are these identified, marked and maintained?

    - Archival procedures

    - Conscious policy on maintenance of logs and procedures for "destruction"

    - Retention of data

    - Reproduce-ability of information.
