devices:
• L1- Physical Layer
• L2- Data-link Layer
• L3- Network Layer
• L4- Transport Layer
• L5- Session Layer
• L6- Presentation Layer
• L7- Application Layer
3. Define SLA.

• Process
• People
• Services
• Technology
SOC-CMM is a continuous maturity model that helps to measure capability and maturity
based on the Design Science Research methodology.
5. What are the various levels of CMM?

The True positive is an output in which various security models are used to predict the
positive class accurately known as True Positive. In contrast, a False positive is an output
in which the model predicts the negative class inaccurately.
8. What do you understand about Threat Intelligence?
Threat Intelligence is an analysis of data using tools and techniques to develop insights
on existing threats using collected, processed, and analyzed data. It mitigates data loss
and implements security measures to protect the data from attacks.
19. What are the different types of threat intelligence?
The different types of threat intelligence are as follows:
• Operational threat intelligence
• Strategic threat intelligence
• Tactical threat intelligence
10. List out some of the SOC Models.
The following are some of the SOC models:
