To keep your your key systems functional, you need two centralized teams to oversee your entire network: a security operations center (SOC) and a network operations center (NOC). Your SOC monitors, responds to, and remediates security threats to protect applications and data against cyberattacks. Your NOC keeps an eye on network status, applies updates and patches, and provides tech support to your users. Both are equally necessary – and because they have to work together across your entire network, it makes sense for both teams to overlap, partly or even fully.

When we set good intentions — whether it’s in our careers or personal pursuits — there’s always the chance that we’ll fall short sometimes. This is especially true in the instance of our online lives and how, despite our best intentions and sincerest concerns, we compromise our privacy online. This is called the privacy paradox, meaning that we believe online privacy is important, but we don’t act on that belief. Instead, it’s often the case that we prioritize the internet’s conveniences over protecting our personal information and sensitive data from the world of cybersecurity and data tracking risks that lurk on the internet. And this has never been more important than the present, on the heels of a year like 2020 that put more of us online than ever out of, yes, convenience but also out of circumstance.
