From Lab to Operations Once components and workflows are in place, the next step is moving from a SOC-as-a-Lab  setup to a fully operational 24/7 centre . At this point, technology alone isn’t the challenge — it’s capacity, processes, and performance management . The Operational Pillars of a Modern SOC People and Skills Sustainable SOCs depend on defined roles, shift rotations, and continuous training. In smaller teams, automation and clear playbooks  compensate for limited s
