Security operations centre (SOC)
The facility and team that monitors networks continuously, detects intrusions and coordinates response.
A security operations centre (SOC) is the team and facility that watches an organisation's networks around the clock, collecting telemetry, detecting intrusions and coordinating the response when something is found. For governments and enterprises alike the question of who runs the SOC is strategic: outsourcing it abroad means a foreign entity sees your incidents first. Many buyers therefore stage from a managed service toward a sovereign, self-run SOC.
In practice
Who runs the security operations centre is a strategic question, because outsourcing it abroad means a foreign entity sees your incidents first. Unstrat helps defence and government buyers stage from a managed service toward a sovereign, self-run SOC, the team and facility that watches networks around the clock, detecting intrusions and coordinating response. The advantage is a capability that grows into full national ownership: buyers gain protection immediately while building the skills to run detection and response themselves. Keeping the SOC sovereign protects the mission and the nation's most sensitive incidents from being visible to an outside party at the moment they matter most. As the accountable single channel, Unstrat structures the progression and stands behind each stage rather than leaving the buyer dependent. Localisation arrangements are scoped per programme, subject to export controls and end-use approvals.
