Incident Response in a Security Operation Center

Cybercrime dates back to the late 1700s and remains a threat today. By observing current threats, such as phishing and data compromise, a better understanding may be gained regarding cyber campaigns and threat actors. Consequently, efforts must be made to prevent the continuous siphoning of millions of dollars from the economic system caused by cybercrime. Because the highly skilled personnel working with Incident Response in a Security Operation Center face many challenges, teamwork is essential to overcome the threats associated with cybercrime. Additional factors, such as working across multiple time zones with varying time shifts, personality differences, and unique technical skill levels and abilities, affect the ability to work as a team. Working through these differences brings cohesion and strength to the team. The security operations center learns to accomplish more with the time and resources at their disposal. To thwart cybercrime, the personnel in the Security Operations Center must address current issues, devise innovative plans, and adopt a new perspective to overcome the complicated problems they encounter.
