What You Need to Build a SOC
As your business grows, so does cyber risk. The tasks surrounding security monitoring, threat detection, alert and incident handling and – in line with regulatory and compliance requirements – breach response need to formalised. You also need to establish structure around service levels to your business and any customers. This capability requires a Security Operations Centre (SOC).

If your business is looking to build a SOC, or if you are developing and maturing your SOC there are several things that you will need to address – covering people, process and technology.
Huntsman Security can support you with the technology element and in turn processes.

Extensive Threat Detection with Advanced Security Analytics
Rapid detection of a wide range of cyber threats is critical in protecting your business; from the obvious and the obscure, the frequent and the rare, the known and the unknown, to the simple and the complex.
Huntsman Security’s next generation SIEM provides the widest range of threat detection capabilities.
The SIEM’s Security Analytics engine processes data in real-time and in-stream to maximise the scope and speed of detection. It uses patterns, correlation across multiple sources, external threat intelligence, user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and machine learning at the user, network, platform and application level. All relevant data is scrutinised.
A scalable solution for any business
Whether you manage a small business with a few technical operators or a multi-role, multi-disciplined team with 1st/2nd line operators, incident analysts, threat hunting and various management stakeholders who need visibility, our SIEM flexes and grows with your requirements. Its data store fluidly grows in capacity over time as needed and in response to surges of data that arise from a breach.
Streamlining your Incident Management Workflow
The Alert & Incident Management workflow is complex and time consuming. If you operate a large SOC you need technology that alleviates the sheer volume of routine demands such as qualifying alerts and triaging those that need attention.
You need to focus your security team on proactive threat resolution.
Fast and Automated Incident Response
Large, high volume SOC environments can be supported with the automation capability of Huntsman Security’s next generation SIEM. The technology delivers extensive automation and orchestration of alert investigation (data gathering/threat verification) and incident response (quarantining/blocking):
- The incident management process is reduced from weeks and months to seconds and minutes;
- Automatically gathers context to verify alerts;
- Slashes the number of false positives for investigation;
For real threats Huntsman Security’s SIEM can either:
- Deliver a case file of all relevant information to the analyst team, or;
- Undertake a machine automated action to resolve the incident.
Actionable Reporting insights
Essential 8 Scorecard – Trend Report
Clear, concise, timely reporting is paramount to building your SOC maturity. Regardless of which Huntsman Security technology you are using, the reports and dashboards support:
