Security Operations Centers
An effective way to manage large security operations
What is a Security Operations Center?
An SOC is essentially a centralized control room that deals with security issues across an organization’s numerous sites, managing security on a wider level in terms of organization, technology and response.
Held in a secure and strategic location, systems managed include video surveillance, access control, alarms, security management systems and sometimes additional systems such as lighting or PA systems.
The SOC provides a central point from which these multiple security systems across a region be remotely monitored via data processing and staff supervision, enabling better regional and global security management.
