One of those is the Security Operations Center (SOC) responsible for protecting the information of all citizens contained in the National Civil Registry databases. To comply with high international security standards, the SOC detects, analyzes, and corrects incidents caused by potential cyber-attacks. In addition, it correlates high-risk events and intervenes remotely to monitor the security of the National Civil Registry. Other tasks of the SOC are:
- Identify and track potential cybersecurity threats in digital environments like the Clear Web, Deep Web, and the Dark Net. - Assess the entity's corporate risk in the digital environment. - Periodically evaluate IT components, whether software or hardware, to identify security weaknesses and implement the necessary controls and measures to strengthen the IT component. - Monitor patterns and anomalies in network traffic and identify security alerts to be addressed by the SOC technical team.
