Security Operations is the organisational and technical discipline responsible for detecting, investigating, and responding to threats across an enterprise's entire attack surface — integrating people, process, and technology into a 24/7 function that Zero Trust architecture makes dramatically more effective by reducing the noise of lateral movement and providing richer identity and device context to every alert. Modern SOC transformation programmes are replacing legacy SIEM-centric operations with XDR-led platforms that correlate telemetry across endpoint, network, cloud, and identity in near real time.
