Respond:

·         Every time a new detection rule is put in place we need make sure it works as intended; someone needs to analyze the output of each alert and make sure they are relevant; once the alerts are high fidelity, we can send them to our level one third party

·         Each alert created needs proper Incident Response Playbook (IRP); those IRP are built during the soaking period mentioned above

Mitigate:

·         When security incident occurs, the SOC needs to contain the breach and eradicate the threat
