Information Systems homework help

Okay, you are the new CISO in charge of creating a brand new Security Operations Center
(SOC).
The Incident Management SOC is for a medium size technology company ranging from 1000
to 5000 full-time employees with a cybersecurity budget of $2.1 million.
As the CISO you need to determine the details of the following; determine positions with
appropriate labor rates, determine realistic costs of hardware and equipment. determine
realistic costs of required SIEM and analytic tools, determine realistic costs of threat
intelligence feeds and subscriptions. The SOC should run 24 x 7 with a rotational shift
schedule. Use the items below as a guide.
Determine a preliminary cost based on the items needed for a successful SOC operation. Use
the internet to get basic costs and create a spreadsheet for the total cost of operations. Be
aware of your budget of $2.1 million.
Do research on YouTube, find a video on building a SOC operation and see below for some
hints on the items necessary for building a successful SOC operation.
The MS Excel spreadsheet should be neat and clean for document presentation.
Personnel:
The SOC will be manned with personnel from the following classifications; Analyst I – 5 ea.
FTE, Analyst II – 5 ea. FTE, Analyst III – 5 ea. FTE, SOC Operations Manager – 1 FTE,
Deputy SOC Operations Manager – 1 FTE, Ops Team Leaders – 5 ea. FTE
*(Full Time Employee (FTE))
Hardware and Equipment – This would be mobile devices, servers, screens and end user
devices.
Ticketing System – Incident tracking
End -User Cybersecurity Tools
Good Luck!
(NOTE: All costs have to be realistic and pulled from a data source and cited. I will check to
see if your budget makes sense)
