The SOC Hiring Handbook

A security operations centre (SOC) is like a machine. But like a machine, when one component is not working, performance can come to a standstill.

Among the various elements — people, process, and technology — that are required to run an effective security operation, people are arguably the most important. 

A documented hiring strategy that addresses the goals of your security operation, chosen staffing model, required positions, and budget will help you build an effective team and identify gaps in your team.

You can use this handbook as a guide to create a strategy to find, hire, and retain top talent for your security operation regardless of your staffing model.
