"Incorporating Cloud Security Teams Into the SOC Enhances Operational Efficiencies"
According to Trend Micro, security leaders recognize that the cloud and how cloud security teams operate today are becoming increasingly critical to business and Information Technology (IT) operations. Therefore, cloud security and the foundational practices of their teams will be integrated into the Security Operations Center (SOC) in the coming years to increase efficiencies. Leaders who have navigated cloud security successfully are well-equipped to navigate a similar transition to the modern SOC landscape. Software consumes everything, creating system infrastructure increasingly defined as code and dependent on large volumes of data, with automation serving as the foundation for delivering value at accelerating rates. These concepts are foundational to teams building and securing in the cloud, but SOC and IT infrastructure teams' tooling, such as cross-detection and response (XDR), also use them and can benefit from absorbing the scale, skills, and expertise of cloud teams. Trend Micro predicts that viable SOC tools will increasingly incorporate cloud protection capabilities. This article continues to discuss Trend Micro's predictions regarding cloud security.
