This second edition of the popular 10 Strategies of a World-Class Cybersecurity Operations Center from The MITRE Corporation includes new material and evolved thinking to bring a fresh approach to excelling at cybersecurity operations and enhancing cyber defenses.
This publication addresses how to understand the mission context in which the SOC operates, identify the appropriate SOC structure and functions for an organization, and hire and develop talented staff while fostering a sense of community and creating an attractive work environment. It also provides guidance on instrumenting digital assets and integrating their data to accelerate workflow, maximize detection, and enhance situational awareness. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of leveraging cyber threat intelligence to operationalize threat-oriented defense, adversary emulation, hunting, and response, and discusses how to effectively communicate the SOC’s story through metrics and communications, both internally and externally.
