Skilling Up for Security Operations Center Roles

The Security Operations Center (SOC) is at the heart of an organization's cyber defense system. Highly skilled and motivated personnel must work in these centers. James Risler, Senior Manager, Cisco Learning and Certifications, discussed the roles of the security engineer and the security analyst and the hard and soft skills needed to be effective in those functions. While the ability to code, learn computer forensics techniques, and know how to operationalize MITRE attacks are top skills, the ability to communicate effectively is equally important. Jim strongly recommends that academic institutions partner up with industry to provide hands-on training opportunities and also engage in security solutions-focused research.
