Ajay explains that when building a SOC, the key steps include:

Identifying Crown Jewels: Business-critical assets and data that need protection.
Ingestion and Sensor Placement: Deciding on which logs and data to ingest and where to place sensors for optimal monitoring.
Capacity Planning: Ensuring adequate resources (RAM, storage, etc.) to handle the data.
Rule Creation and Normalization: Developing correlation rules, reducing false positives, and normalizing data for easy understanding.
Automated Responses: Implementing automation (e.g., using SOAR solutions) to respond quickly to threats and reduce human workload.
Monitoring SIM Health: Continuous monitoring of the SOC system’s health to ensure it is functioning optimally.

He also discusses:
The importance of playbooks for automating responses and runbooks for guiding manual processes.
The need for continuous threat intelligence integration to ensure that new threats are identified promptly.
The role of SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) tools in streamlining SOC operations, reducing reliance on manual interventions, and enhancing efficiency.
Ajay gives examples of ransomware detection strategies, explaining how organizations can leverage threat intelligence and blogs to stay ahead of attackers. He emphasizes the importance of regular updates to detection logic and playbooks to keep up with evolving threats.

The session concludes with Ajay giving advice for those aspiring to become SOC architects. He stresses the need for a deep understanding of blue team operations, vendor-specific certifications (e.g., Splunk, Sentinel), and strong business alignment. Ajay also speaks about the future of SOC, suggesting that cloud-based SOC solutions will become more prevalent as organizations move to hybrid or multicloud environments.

Overall, this session offers a comprehensive overview of SOC architecture, practical insights on implementing and optimizing SOC operations, and tips for aspiring architects..
