Automating Security Operations: Paving the way to the Modern SOC

Since the early 2000s, critical organisations’ technology stacks evolve with cloud technologies, IoT, OT, and increased third-party dependencies, the attack surface expands, and cybersecurity challenges grow more complex thus including a lot of different technologies. This, combined with a talent shortage and an overwhelming increase in data, demands faster, more efficient responses and a rethink of current security operations. The security information and event management (SIEM) platform is the central analytics tool for the security operations center. Telemetry and log data from other security tools are brought into the SIEM so that it can be correlated, and new understanding can be gained when it is analyzed together rather than in separate silos. Through the evolving modern SOC, bringing the data together makes investigations easier, helping identify more adversary activity and increasing the efficiency of the security team. Transforming SOCs by shifting from a reactive to a proactive approach is thus enhanced by automation and AI added value coming both from Google and Thales GenAI. Capitalising on a partnership with Google, Thales is leading the way in Modern Security Operations Centers (SOCs) by capitalizing on an extensive customer base and expertise, and a vast array of detection rules, further enhanced by in-house Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and dedicated CERTs, ensuring robust and proactive threat detection and response.
