What is the Gartner SOC Triad Methodology?

The Gartner SOC Triad Methodology is a framework that helps organizations to design and implement a Security Operations Center (SOC). It is based on three key pillars: people, process, and technology.

The people pillar involves building a team of skilled and experienced security professionals who can handle the various tasks and responsibilities of the SOC, such as monitoring and analyzing security events, incident response, and reporting.

The process pillar involves defining and implementing standard operating procedures and processes for the SOC, such as incident response, threat intelligence, and reporting. The technology pillar involves selecting and implementing the appropriate tools and technologies to support the SOC, such as security information and event management (SIEM) systems, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), and threat intelligence platforms.

Organizations looking to build a SOC may choose to follow the Gartner SOC Triad Methodology because it provides a structured and comprehensive approach to building and maintaining a SOC. It helps organizations to ensure that they have the right people, processes, and technology in place to effectively monitor and protect their networks and systems.
