SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTER
The Security Operations Center (SOC) is NASA’s nerve center for detection and monitoring of security incidents for the Agency, providing continuous, uninterrupted event detection, situational awareness, incident management and tracking. The SOC maintains a sound and secure information assurance posture for more than 100,000 (including telephones) devices and users across NASA.
NASA’s state-of-the-art SOC accomplishes detection through innovative solutions, utilizing proprietary systems to track and manage incident response activity, consolidating Agency-wide coordination and communication.
The SOC works side-by-side with the NASA’s Computer Forensics and Incident Analysis (CFIA) team and the Cyber Threat Analysis Program (CTAP), which focus on addressing the most serious threats, mapping information between threats to NASA and NASA’s inherent vulnerabilities. The SOC also performs penetration testing for NASA to determine security weaknesses with enterprise-wide ability to identify and respond to security incidents.
The NASA SOC, at the forefront of technological development, has capabilities including: real-time detection of NASA systems with malware infection; effectively blocking access to malicious exploit sites; preventing beaconing and data loss; using an effective multi-layer defense; and critically important real-time intelligence. These capabilities serve NASA’s uniquely diverse technological environment of scientists, engineers and others, supporting a multitude of operating systems.
