Assignment:

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a corporate profile to develop a proposal outlining the need for and benefits of implementing a SOC within the selected organization.

When it comes to security, every organization is unique. Trust relationships are pivotal to ensure the development of a healthy organizational security culture. It is easy to try to make a one-size-fits-all solution, but that method is doomed to fail. A SOC can encompass the concepts of a healthy and well-defined security culture, and can positively transform the effectiveness for how an organization approaches security.

Examine the need for a Security Operations Center (SOC) and how the company would benefit from implementing a SOC.

In a proposal paper to upper management, summarize the company's security culture by addressing the following. This will be the Security Culture Summary section in the IT Proposal.

1. Compare and contrast the various aspects of cybersecurity, including the relationship between cyber operations, cybercrime, and cyber law.

3. Explain how the SOC will be significant to the security culture of the selected company.
