Useful Questions To Navigate the TIP Vendor Landscape
In today's escalating threat landscape, Security Operations Center (SOC) teams face a constant cat and mouse battle against adversaries as they try to stay one step ahead. This situation isn't helped by the fragmented tools; multiple data feeds and data siloes they must contend with. Likewise, with so many security vendors out there with different approaches and solutions, how do they know what cybersecurity solutions they should be investing in?
How Much Does It Cost to Build a Security Operations Center (SOC)?
Having some form of a security operations center (SOC) to protect and secure your assets, applications, and infrastructure is no longer optional. As cyber criminals grow more sophisticated and modern complexities (remote work, the cloud, international operations) expand the attack surface, a SOC becomes a critical line of defense. It works proactively and reactively and can help an organization advance their security posture while dealing with immediate threats.

Automate Non-Human Identity Security and Management with Torq and Astrix
Organizations’ zero-trust policies and identity-centric programs ensure that user identities and login credentials are vigorously protected with IAM policies and security tools like MFA or IP restrictions. However, the situation is very different regarding non-human identities (NHI) like API keys, OAuth apps, service accounts, and secrets. Lack of visibility, monitoring, and governance of this permissive access is everywhere, and attackers have figured it out.
Threat Profiles: Figuring Out Which Threats Matter
In a typical security operations center (SOC), the threat detection and response teams have one key objective: identify and stop the bad guys. To do so, they invest in the best tools, recruit the best team members, and work tirelessly to stay ahead of any potential security incidents that might be on the horizon.

An Introduction to SOC Automation
The security operations center, or SOC, is the backbone of modern security operations. By centralizing security monitoring, detection, and response, SOCs help organizations manage security risks more efficiently and effectively. But simply setting up a SOC doesn’t guarantee optimal security workflows. To get the very most from your SOC, you must automate its operations as much as possible.
How to Set Up a Security Operations Centre In 5 Steps
The benefits of a security operations centre (SOC) are most obvious when you don't have one. For example, imagine it’s 3 am on a Saturday morning and a hacker breaks into your organisation's systems. There’s no one to detect the intrusion and no one to deal with it either. In fact, it’s not until a member of your sales team notices they are locked out of the network on Monday morning that anyone even knows there is something wrong. After that, things start happening very fast.
