How has the explosion of remote work and the use of cloud-based systems, and shifting budgets impacted SOC functions and team operations? The SANS 2021 Security Operations Center (SOC) Survey explores these themes and provides SOC managers and team leads with an opportunity to peer into what others in the industry are doing.

By reading the survey report, you will learn why SOC management expert and SANS Senior Instructor Chris Crowley and SANS Director of Emerging Security Trends John Pescatore recommend. ” …the pathway to high performance is to automate metrics, complete the implementation of the technology you buy, develop an ongoing program for moving repetitive tasks into automation technology, and promote ongoing analytical excellence and technical mastery in the SOC staff. That mastery and excellence will come from training and programmatic peer review of work.”
