This guide outlines a structured approach to decision-making in a Security Operations Centre (SOC). It begins by observing the decision context, highlighting traditional limitations such as volume and speed, alongside constraints like budget and regulation. The second part focuses on designing, verifying, and learning from the process, emphasising the importance of setting autonomy boundaries, testing reliability, and refining strategies based on critical outcomes.
