The recent scandal involving Facebook’s data privacy has garnered global media attention and widespread mistrust for the social platform. It all erupted when it was reported that private information from approximately 87 million profiles was used to covertly influence the 2016 U.S. election.
Across every major news outlet the topic of cyber security threats and data privacy are impossible to miss. From multinational companies being relieved of millions of credit card numbers, to foreign hacking, to the selling of user data via social media, digital security is clearly more important than ever. Threats are being realized by vulnerable organizations large and small.
A Security Operation Center (SOC) can be either a team who works 24/7 in shifts or a facility dedicated and well-organized to detect, prevent, assess, and respond to cyber-threats and incidents and helps to achieve compliance requirements.
