How to Design a Future-Ready SOC: A Guide to Enhanced Security Operations

James Todd, Chief Technology Officer at Adarma

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, where threats continuously morph and mutate, merely keeping pace is no longer sufficient. Staying ahead necessitates a proactive, threat-centric approach to fortify defenses and ensure resilience. As businesses traverse the terrain of digital transformation, the complexity and cost of safeguarding operations has soared.

The advent of new technologies, coupled with the ascendancy of hyperscale cloud providers, has ushered in a new era fraught with challenges for traditional Security Operations Centres (SOCs). Largely, these traditional in-house SOCs have surrendered much of their oversight and control of applications and data to external providers and service delivery teams within the business.

This limited approach, compounded by the management of increasingly diverse vendor technologies and environments, has resulted in significant observability gaps, escalating defence costs, and difficulty in hiring and retaining the right skilled personnel.

Adarma’s latest publication, “How to Design a Future-Ready SOC,” is designed to address these issues. Our new guide presents a comprehensive blueprint for constructing a SOC primed to confront contemporary challenges while preemptively addressing tomorrow’s threats. Inside, this paper provides a thorough examination of the limitations of traditional SOCs and practical solutions for overcoming them.
