Q: How does the 'Follow the Sun' model depicted impact SOC staffing?A: It allows for 24/7 coverage without requiring night shifts in every region, improving analyst quality of life and retention.
-
Q: What is the operational challenge of the 'Data Sovereignty' implied by the EU swimlane?A: The SOC must ensure that log data from EU citizens stays within the EU (or compliant systems) while still maintaining global visibility.
-
Q: How does the diagram suggest 'Handoffs' occur?A: It likely shows overlap periods where regions synchronize context before transferring control, critical for continuity.
-
Q: What is the role of the 'Tier 3' function in a distributed model?A: It often serves as a global center of excellence, handling the most complex cases regardless of where they originated.
-
Q: How does 'Regional' vs. 'Global' policy application differ?A: Regional SOCs apply local context and compliance rules, while Global applies broad threat intelligence and corporate policy.
-
Q: What is the 'Resilience' advantage of this multi-SOC architecture?A: If one SOC goes offline (e.g., weather, connectivity), operations can be shifted to another region.
-
Q: How does the diagram address 'Latency' in decision making?A: By empowering regional SOCs to make Triage/Containment decisions locally, reducing the delay of consulting a central HQ.
-
Q: What implies the need for a 'Unified Platform'?A: For this model to work, all regions must access the same ticketing and SIEM data (logically, if not physically) to collaborate.
-
Q: What is the 'Cultural' consideration in this model?A: Different regions may have different risk tolerances and communication styles, requiring standardized operating procedures.
-
Q: How does this model support 'Insider Threat' detection?A: Regional analysts are better positioned to understand local context and behavioral anomalies that a remote global analyst might miss.
