Our cyber presence continues to
grow exponentially every year. Facebook now has 2 billion users that are sharing
personal information. Thousands of businesses increasingly exchange
confidential information through public and private networks. Cyber-attacks,
hacks and cyber warfare have increased proportionally as government
organizations and financial institution eagerly reap the benefits of going
online.
The internet has become a shady
place to have a conversation or conduct business unless protected by guarantees
and assurances. As the dark web crawls into our lives, cyber security has
become a dynamic and integral part of organizations and a matter of public safety
at large. That is where security operation centre UK or SOC steps in.
Security Operation Centre SOC
SOC is the guardian for a public service
that is out to do well but can be attacked by malicious and criminal elements.
The SOC uses cutting-edge technologies and networking logics to evade any
potential hacker from spying or phishing critical information from a network. A
heavily scrutinizing firewall always stands in between the protected internal
network of a company and the external public networks.
The rise of cloud computing
further challenges information security professionals to prevent the data
stored in the cloud to be leached by prying devices and hacker groups. A SOC is
not limited to defending an organization's cyber presence and network. It also
detects any behavior in the employees of an organization that could result in a
potential exposure.
Cyber Security and Saudi Arabia
Managed security services KSA is now a fairly common appendage of an organization.
By 2020 it is estimated that managed security services market in Saudi Arabia
will increase to $3.5 billion. Cloud-based MSS is cost effective and does not
require companies to have an in-house presence of IT Security personnel. The
fast and higher GDP of Saudi Arabia along lower internet safety know-how as an
enticing challenge, which excites the hackers and a lot of other
vulnerabilities.
Encryption techniques, hashing
software, Trojan and ransom ware detection software equip SOCs to limit and
defend people and corporations from fraud and identity theft. Information
security services protect organizations in the petroleum, IT and telecom
sectors of Saudi Arabia and remain vigilant against any cyber-crime. MSS
protect and secure vulnerable masses and entities from cyber-crime this way.
