Frequently Asked Questions About SOC Assessment

Unit 42 is the threat intelligence, incident response, and security consulting arm of Palo Alto Networks helping organizations prepare for, respond to and recover from cyber incidents.
A Unit 42 SOC Assessment evaluates how effectively your security operations center detects, investigates and responds to threats. It identifies gaps across people, processes, technology and operating workflows.
The assessment reviews areas such as alert coverage, detection engineering, incident response processes, threat hunting, automation, telemetry and team roles. Unit 42 evaluates how these elements work together in practice, not only whether the tools are deployed.
Organizations looking to improve detection and response, modernize their SOC, reduce alert fatigue or validate security operations investments can benefit from a SOC Assessment. It is also useful when teams are adopting new platforms, expanding operations or preparing for increased threat activity.
You receive a clear view of your current SOC maturity, prioritized findings and practical recommendations for improving detection, response and operational efficiency. The result is a roadmap that helps your team focus investment and effort where it will have the greatest impact.
