Description: Security operations are the daily activities involved in managing and maintaining the security of systems and data. These operations are fundamental to protecting the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information in an increasingly digital and connected environment. They include constant monitoring of networks and systems, implementing security policies, managing incidents, and responding to threats. Security operations encompass various areas, such as cloud security, which ensures that data stored on third-party platforms is protected against unauthorized access. They are also related to Security Operations Centers (SOC), which are teams dedicated to monitoring and responding to security incidents. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is another critical facet that seeks to prevent sensitive information from being disclosed or stolen. Additionally, technologies like advanced access controls provide enhanced security in various environments. Orchestration and DevSecOps integrate security into the software development lifecycle, while the Zero Trust approach redefines security by assuming that no entity, internal or external, is trusted by default. Security automation and response enable rapid reactions to incidents, minimizing the impact of potential security breaches. Together, these operations are essential for maintaining a secure and resilient environment against cyber threats.
