What is SOC/SIEM?

SOC/SIEM refers to Security Operations Center (SOC) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). A SOC is a centralized unit that deals with security issues on an organizational and technical level. SIEM, on the other hand, is technology that provides real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware. SIEM systems collect logs and event data, correlate them, and provide alerts, often integrating with incident response workflows. They are commonly used for threat detection, security incident management, and compliance reporting.
