Overview of this book

The Mitre ATT&CK framework is an extraordinary resource for all SOC environments, however, determining the appropriate implementation techniques for different use cases can be a daunting task. This book will help you gain an understanding of the current state of your SOC, identify areas for improvement, and then fill the security gaps with appropriate parts of the ATT&CK framework. You’ll learn new techniques to tackle modern security threats and gain tools and knowledge to advance in your career. In this book, you’ll first learn to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your SOC environment, and how ATT&CK can help you improve it. Next, you’ll explore how to implement the framework and use it to fill any security gaps you’ve identified, expediting the process without the need for any external or extra resources. Finally, you’ll get a glimpse into the world of active SOC managers and practitioners using the ATT&CK framework, unlocking their expertise, cautionary tales, best practices, and ways to continuously improve. By the end of this book, you’ll be ready to assess your SOC environment, implement the ATT&CK framework, and advance in your security career.

SOC Basics – Structure, Personnel, Coverage, and Tools

In this chapter, we will cover the landscape of what your average security operation center (SOC) looks like. We’ll discuss the structure of the specific roles within the SOC and possible sub-teams that can feed into or be part of the SOC environment. We’ll discuss strategies for alert triage, creating detections, incident response, and other important functions such as “trust but verify,” and how these functions can promote cross-team collaboration and apply to all aspects of the business. Having a strong understanding of the SOC can be critical to applying the various aspects of the ATT&CK framework. This will also allow you to evaluate the SOC environments that you might work in or interact with, and suggest possible changes, improvements, or areas for expansion. This chapter is comprised of the following sections:

  • SOC environments and roles
  • SOC environment responsibilities
  • SOC coverage
  • SOC cross-team collaboration
