In case there is an attack, along with other stakeholders the SOC will take up detection of the cyber-crimes.

In the coming days, the SOC will form a council where experts and officials of different companies will be members and will formulate the guidelines to observe cyber security and cyber hygiene. “Every corporate company and government office should have one person who should have knowledge of cyber security. They will coordinate with the council,” he said.

Also, awareness of cyber hygiene and security will be taken up by the Security Operations Centre both in government and non-government centre.

At present, the special teams at the SOC are studying all old cases to familiarise themselves with the cyber security breaches and attacks that happened globally.
