A few years ago, I walked into a SOC that had been designed by committee. Each team had chosen their own tools. The network team used one NMS. The security team used a different SIEM. The physical security team had their own VMS with its own server. The automation team ran a standalone SOAR platform
When we tell prospects about the value of 24/7 monitoring, their first question is usually: “What would you actually catch that we wouldn’t?” Fair question. Here’s our answer — real incidents from our SOC, anonymised. All detected during overnight or weekend shifts, by engineers who were watching when nobody else was. Case 1: The 3
For decades, the industry has treated network operations (NOC) and security operations (SOC) as separate disciplines. Separate teams. Separate tools. Separate budgets. Separate reports. That separation made sense 20 years ago when networks were simpler and threats were fewer. It doesn’t make sense today — and it’s costing Indian enterprises significantly more than they realise.
