Accomplishments

-Innovative Security Automation & Threat Intelligence: The Security Operations Center (SOC) has demonstrated exceptional innovation and operational excellence in cybersecurity threat detection, intelligence integration, and data enrichment. Over the course of a 19-month project, the SOC transitioned from an unstructured threat hunting model to a structured, repeatable approach leveraging the MITRE ATT&CK framework. With significant advancements in detection engineering, threat intelligence integration, and data source gap remediation, the SOC has positioned itself as a leader in proactive cyber defense. Our SOC team went from 0 ATT&CK techniques with tagged detections to 96 techniques with corresponding detections resulting in 281 detections engineered in a 19-month period. 

-Operational Excellence & Resilience: Our SOC team provides 24/7 real-time monitoring and incident response, analyzing over 10TB of security data daily while leveraging AI-driven analytics to detect anomalies. Our SOC developed over 50 dashboards, including a high-impact CISO Dashboard, enhancing executive decision-making with actionable security insights. We’ve also successfully developed insider threat risk scoring tools while ensuring compliance with strict privacy policies. The SOC seamlessly integrated cyber threat intelligence (CTI) insights to drive proactive detection engineering and structured hunting cycles. Our key accomplishments included 3,548 articles reviewed, leading to 9,423 ATT&CK technique mappings.  

-Commitment to Cyber Workforce Development & Retention: With a 95% retention rate over four years, our SOC fosters a culture of continuous learning through a dedicated training budget, career advancement programs, and team-building initiatives. Our personnel are highly skilled in forensic science, data analytics, malware analysis, and adversary tracking, ensuring sustained excellence in cybersecurity operations.
