Definition
A security operations center (SOC) is a team and capability set that monitors security telemetry and responds to incidents—internally or via a provider.
Why it matters for business
Security operations center for monitoring and response. Security and IT decisions—and cyber insurance questionnaires—often assume leadership understands this term at a practical level.
Example in an SMB context
A growing firm in the CT/NY/NJ market might encounter SOC when hardening Microsoft 365, selecting endpoint tools, or preparing an incident response plan.
