In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity is more critical than ever. Organizations must continuously monitor and respond to threats to protect their sensitive information and assets. Security Operations Centers (SOCs) play a vital role in this effort, serving as the nerve center for monitoring, detecting, and responding to cyber incidents.
At SafeNet, we understand the challenges faced by SOCs in managing and securing their environments. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Wazuh, a powerful open-source security monitoring platform that can help enhance SOC management and streamline operations.
