• Describe the types of service coverage within a SOC and operational responsibilities associated with each.
• Compare security operations considerations of cloud platforms.
• Describe the general methodologies of SOC platforms development, management, and automation.
• Explain asset segmentation, segregation, network segmentation, micro-segmentation, and approaches to each, as part of asset controls and protections.
• Describe Zero Trust and associated approaches, as part of asset controls and protections.
• Perform incident investigations using Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and/or security orchestration and automation (SOAR) in the SOC.
• Use different types of core security technology platforms for security monitoring, investigation, and response.
• Describe the DevOps and SecDevOps processes.
