Re: SOC

Hey Kevin,

I know that Rich would have liked to have had a SOC here but it never happened.  Now that we have formed a new Security 
Engineering group I will be putting together at a minimum a wall in which we will have screens monitoring our 
IPS/IDS/Netflow/Syslogs/Whatever else I can think of so that all of us can see what is going on in a single place.  
Since all five of us will be in the same room it should be fairly easy to monitor.

That's probably as close as we will ever get to a SOC.

Hi Everyone:

I know more detailed information about this has gone around the list but I am trying to find out just a couple of items 
surrounding the prevalence (or lack of) SOCs within institutions of higher education.  So if you have a SOC and 
wouldn't mind replying I would like to know:


*         how many people staff it

*         is it part of your InfoSec group or part of your call center/help desk group

Thanks,
-Kevin
