Abstract

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) collect data related to the information systems they protect and process it to detect suspicious activities. In this paper we explain how a SOC is organized, we highlight the current limitations of SOCs and their consequences regarding the performance of the detection service. We propose a new collaboration process to enhance the cooperation between security analysts in order to quickly process security events and define a better workflow that enables them to efficiently exchange feedback. Finally, we design a prototype corresponding to this new model.
