From alert-driven SOCs to intelligence-driven security operations
Security operations centres should stop judging success by incident count and focus on time to containment and eradication.
Most security operations centres (SOCs) still judge their success by counting incidents, but this metric only measures how busy the SOC is, not its effectiveness.
A detection system is good if the right alerts reach the right person quickly, not because it produces many.
Cyberrey suggests that SOCs should focus on reducing what’s worth alerting on and using continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) to continually find and fix exposures across the environment.
