Description
A documented Framework for Cyber Security Operations Center (SOC), to develop its Strategy and Design; Setting up, Operate, Manage, Govern, Improve and Innovate SOC.

Currently there is no such framework available from any Government, Non-Government or Commercial Organization.

The Deliverable of this project will be as follows:

Security Operations Center (SOC) Framework

 Trainings: 

Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst

Security Operations Center (SOC) Manager

 Other Documents: 

Security Operations Center (SOC) Assessment

Security Operations Center (SOC) Maturity Model

Licensing
The OWASP SOC Framework is free to use.

So you can copy, distribute and transmit the work, and you can adapt it, and use it commercially, but all provided that you attribute the work and if you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar to this one.

''Additionally, I also encourage you to contribute back to the project. I have no monopoly on this knowledge; however, we all have pieces of this knowledge from our experience. Let's begin by putting our individual pieces together to make something great. Great things happen when people work together.''

What is OWASP SOC Framework Project?
The end goal is to document a Framework for Cyber Security Operations Center (SOC), which will guide in Strategy Design, Setting up, Operate, Manage, Govern, Improve and Innovate a SOC. Currently there is no such framework available from any Government, Non-Government or Commercial Organization.

Once this is well organised, I think it would be great to publish this through the OWASP Press. Of course, it will always remain freely available, and any money collected will go directly into the project to absorb costs with any remaining funds going to the OWASP Foundation.

This document should serve as a guide to technical Architects, Designers, Implementers, Managers, Administrators, Experts, Incident Handlers, and Analysts about their roles and responsibilities in a Cyber Security Operation Center (SOC).

There are many different ways you can contribute to an OWASP Project, but communication with the leads is key.
