As technology continues to change rapidly, and so do the tactics cybercriminals use. Responding to these changes requires adapting your security operations center (SOC), or eventually, you may encounter a security incident. Security is a journey, not a destination. You don’t just become secure and move on to another project. Instead, you continuously observe, adapt, and improve.
In 2019, Gartner coined the term secure access service edge (SASE), essentially merging WAN and security technologies into a single cloud-delivered service framework. If you want to be forward-thinking, you need to develop a SASE strategy. Your SOC should be an integral part of architecting a SASE journey because of the various strategic security capabilities and desired outcomes.
Enter the SOC of the future, and here at Netskope, we operate as Customer Zero. Since the Netskope SOC is responsible for monitoring and responding to threats under this evolving landscape, here are the critical areas of the SASE journey in which our SOC plays an integral role in developing.
