Security and risk management leaders often struggle to maintain effective security operations centers without defined operating models. SRM leaders who need to protect an organization according to the internal/external threat landscape should build and run an SOC using an SOC target operating model.

• Security and risk management leaders often struggle to convey the business value of their security operations centers to nonsecurity leaders, resulting in reduced investment, poor collaboration and eroding support.
• Without operational alignment and defined agreements for an SOC, SRM leaders face resistance and avoidance from other business units, increasing the risk of security incidents with direct fiscal impact on the business.
• SRM leaders are failing to identify and understand relevant threats and risks to the organization, which increases the chances of devastating security incidents. Lack of initial and continuous threat modeling affects all components of the SOC target operating model, resulting in increased risk and reduced efficacy of SOC operations.
