What a SOC Does
| Function | In plain words |
|---|---|
| Monitoring | Collects and watches logs and alerts from systems, networks and endpoints |
| Detection | Spots suspicious behaviour and known indicators of compromise |
| Triage | Decides which alerts are real, how serious they are and who should handle them |
| Incident response | Contains the threat, removes it and restores normal operations |
| Reporting and improvement | Documents what happened and tunes detections so it is caught faster next time |
