Security Operations Center
Acronym : SOC
The SOC is the team (in-house or outsourced) and tooling dedicated to continuous monitoring, detection and first response to security incidents, around the clock or during business hours depending on the organization's maturity.
Why it matters
Average intrusion detection time is often measured in weeks without dedicated monitoring; even a shared SOC drastically reduces this delay.
Concrete example
A company subscribes to a managed SOC that monitors its SIEM and calls the team in case of a critical incident outside office hours.
