Security Operations
All coordinated activities performed in a Security Operations Center (SOC) to monitor, detect, investigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats in real time. This includes proactive defense, continuous monitoring, incident handling, and threat intelligence integration, as described in NIST SP 800-137 and ISO/IEC 27035.
