Episode Description
At the center of your cyber security universe is the Security Operations Center (SOC). This is supposed to be part of your 24/7 Managed Detection & Response (MDR) capability. But how do you know if your security operations team is running in a mature and highly capable manner. This is where the rubber meets the road when identifying and respond to security threats within your environment. What are the different delivery models, lessons learned, and best practices for driving improvements? We will also explore the increasingly sophisticated tactics used by threat actors, including their use of IoT devices to evade detection inside your network and pivot around undetected. Join us as we take our defense strategy to the next level of maturity, exploring what's working and what needs to change to stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape.
