SOC OPERATING HEALTH

The SOC's true state — open cases, backlog age, SLA compliance and analyst load — is spread across queues and shift notes. Bottlenecks and overloaded analysts are only obvious once cases start slipping.

  • Security Analysts

Systems / Vendors

  • SIEM
  • SOAR / case management
  • EDR / XDR
