A Cyber Security Operations Center (C-SOC) continuously monitors networks, endpoints, and logs to detect and respond to threats around the clock.
It combines SIEM correlation, threat-intelligence feeds, and trained analysts working in shifts to triage alerts, contain incidents, and escalate according to a defined playbook. The metric that matters most is dwell time — the gap between when a compromise happens and when it's detected — and a staffed, 24x7 SOC is what keeps that gap small.
