Detect threats earlier and respond with greater confidence.
On average, it takes organisations 187 days to detect a security breach. In that time, attackers can move through systems quietly, increasing the risk of ransomware, operational disruption and significant financial impact.
In this on-demand webinar, CWSI CTO Mark Mitchell is joined by Callum Evans, Cyber Security Consultant at Chorus, to explore what an effective Cyber Security Operations Centre (SOC) looks like in practice, and why earlier detection has become such an important part of modern cyber security.
Through practical discussion and real-world insight, this session looks at how organisations can strengthen visibility, improve incident response and build a more proactive approach to cyber defence, without necessarily building everything from scratch.
In this session you’ll learn:
1
What a Cyber Security Operations Centre (SOC) is
2
Why organisations are investing in SOC capabilities.
3
What to consider when building a Security Operations Centre.
4
How earlier threat detection helps reduce risk and impact
5
Tips for working successfully with a SOC partner
6
Practical considerations for strengthening security operations
