The Evolution of SOC Operations: How Continuous Exposure Management Transforms Security Operations
"Security Operations Centers (SOC) today are overwhelmed. Analysts handle thousands of alerts every day, spending much time chasing false positives and adjusting detection rules reactively. SOCs often lack the environmental context and relevant threat intelligence needed to quickly verify which alerts are truly malicious. As a result, analysts spend excessive time manually triaging alerts, the majority of which are classified as benign."
"Instead, attackers chain together multiple exposures, utilizing known CVEs where helpful, and employing evasion techniques to move laterally across an environment and accomplish their desired goals. Individually, traditional security tools may detect one or more of these exposures or IoCs, but without the context derived from a deeply integrated continuous exposure management program, it can be nearly impossible for security teams to effectively correlate otherwise seemingly disconnected signals."
SOCs are overwhelmed by thousands of daily alerts, causing analysts to chase false positives and adjust detection rules reactively. Analysts often lack environmental context and relevant threat intelligence needed to quickly verify which alerts are malicious, so most alerts are manually triaged and classified as benign. Traditional security tools can be accurate but often focus narrowly and lack contextual integration, enabling sophisticated attackers to exploit exposures invisible to reactive tools. Attackers chain multiple exposures, leverage known CVEs, and use evasion techniques to move laterally and achieve objectives. Deeply integrated continuous exposure management provides the context needed to correlate disconnected signals and prioritize remediation.
