The SOC of Tomorrow
Historically, the goal of the security operations center (SOC) has been to provide organizations and their security teams with a common operating picture to better enable responsiveness to alarms and emergency events. As such, the task of security integrators in building out SOCs has been to tie as many relevant physical security systems – video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, etc. – into these centers to create as comprehensive a view as possible for control room operators and dispatchers. But in an evolving technology landscape that generates what seems to be an ever-increasing amount of data, at what point do we reach information overload in the SOC?
