7 Steps to Build a SOC with Limited ResourcesLogRhythm
Most organizations don't have the resources to staff a 24x7 security operations center (SOC). This results in events that aren't monitored around the clock, major delays in detecting and responding to incidents, and the inability for the team to proactively hunt for threats. It's a dangerous situation.
But there is a solution. By using the Threat Lifecycle Management framework to combine people, process, and technology to automate manual tasks, your team can rapidly detect and respond to threats—without adding resources. Read on to learn 7 steps to building your SOC, even when your resources are limited.
The session theme is "Threat Management, Next Generation Security Operations Center".
The session focuses how security information and event management can help enterprises to collects data from the heterogeneous landscape to have incident response plans and have automation in the entire security operations framework.
The session is handled by The session will be handled by Mr.Ravi Shankar Mallah, Architect / IBM security Specialist – Resilient & i2.
Ravi has over 13+ years of experience in the field of Cyber security. Over the course of his career he has been involved in building & running multiple enterprise level SOC while taking care of both perimeter and internal security of these setup. He also enjoys real life experience of various Security related technologies such as SIEM, SOAR, IPS, firewalls, Vulnerability management, Anti-APT solutions etc.

Definition
Gartner defines a SOC as both a team, often operating in shifts around the clock, and a facility dedicated to and organized to prevent, detect, assess and respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents, and to fulfill and assess regulatory compliance. The term "cybersecurity operation center "is often used synonymously for SOC.
A network operations center (NOC) is not a SOC, which focuses on network device management rather than detecting and responding to cybersecurity incidents. Coordination between the two is common, however.
A managed security service is not the same as having a SOC — although a service provider may offer services from a SOC. A managed service is a shared resource and not solely dedicated to a single organization or entity. Similarly, there is no such thing as a managed SOC.
Most of the technologies, processes and best practices that are used in a SOC are not specific to a SOC. Incident response or vulnerability management remain the same, whether delivered from a SOC or not. It is a meta-topic, involving many security domains and disciplines, and depending on the services and functions that are delivered by the SOC.
Services that often reside in a SOC are:
• Cyber security incident response
• Malware analysis
• Forensic analysis
• Threat intelligence analysis
• Risk analytics and attack path modeling
• Countermeasure implementation
• Vulnerability assessment
• Vulnerability analysis
• Penetration testing
• Remediation prioritization and coordination
• Security intelligence collection and fusion
• Security architecture design
• Security consulting
• Security awareness training
• Security audit data collection and distribution

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Maturing SOC
Challenges
• Legacy SIEM : Unstable, Inflexible, Clunky
• Limited skilled resources
• High false negative and false positive
Customer Solution : Splunk Cloud with Enterprise Security
• Developed processes : Rule set, naming
• SOC process : Playbook, training, automated documentation
• Enabled SOC to identify patterns of behavior in a single event rather than
be bombarded by thousands of low-value incidents
