The SOC is set up as an advanced center for monitoring and analyzing security events. Various security tools, such as SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and IDS (Intrusion Detection System), are used to obtain a comprehensive overview of the security status of our systems. The SOC is designed to proactively detect threats and respond to security incidents, ensuring the resilience and reliability of our systems.

The installation and further development of our SOC project have been made possible by the funding we have received from VLAIO (Flemish Agency for Innovation and Entrepreneurship). This financial support enables us to implement advanced security solutions and enhance our research capabilities. Thanks to VLAIO's support, we can use state-of-the-art technologies and tools to identify threats and protect our systems against cyber attacks.

Within the "Security & Privacy" research group, we collaborate closely with other researchers, industry professionals, and government agencies. This collaboration allows us to explore and apply the latest security trends and technologies in our SOC. By bringing together knowledge and expertise from different disciplines, we can develop innovative solutions and contribute to the growth of the cybersecurity sector.

In addition to our collaboration with external partners, we also conduct internal research to improve the effectiveness of our SOC. We analyze data, evaluate performance, and make necessary adjustments to ensure that our SOC operates optimally. Our goal is to continuously learn and innovate, so that we always stay ahead in the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity.
