SOC stands for Security Operations Center. It comprises a team of skilled cybersecurity
professionals who monitor a company’s IT infrastructure. Monitoring the infrastructure is
essential to checking, detecting, preventing, or responding to cyber threats.

Upon completion of the 13-hour SCE course and passing the required exam, EC-Council will
