GUIDE TO OPERATING A SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTER (SOC)

The September 11, 2001 terror attacks occasioned a wide-ranging reevaluation of operational security in most industries, especially in the critical infrastructure sector not just asset operators, either, but ecosystem partners all along the supply chain.

Physical security is still vulnerable to common industrial security risks, e.g., workplace threats, violence, theft, counterfeiting, sabotage, trespassing, activist disruption, vandalism, contamination, and,of course,terrorist attacks.
