Security Operations Center (SOC) Case Study

Abstract

Higher education institutions are beginning to organize operational security into security operations centers to monitor and respond to security incidents as a means to improve efficiency. If you are considering establishing your own or outsourcing some or all of these functions, this paper highlights important steps and deliberations. This paper was prepared by members of the Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC). The Security Operations Center (SOC) case study complements the EDUCAUSE Review blog, CyberPosse: A SOC-as-a-Service for Higher Education.
