This 3-slide vision deck presents a modern blueprint for transforming traditional SOCs into adaptive, threat-informed, and human-centered operations. Built around my STRATA and UTIOM frameworks, it redefines what a Security Operations Center should look like in an era of cloud, complexity, and constant change.
The deck covers:
Vision: Moving from alert fatigue to architectural clarity — where detection meets design.
Maturity Roadmap: The STRATA Model (Strategy, Talent, Resilience, Automation, Telemetry, Adaptability) — a practical evolution path toward business-aligned SOCs.
KPIs & Impact: Measuring outcomes that matter — from Detection Maturity and Signal-to-Noise Ratio to Response Agility and Business Confidence.
Designed with Minimal Cyber aesthetics — black, orange, and green — this mini-portfolio communicates both leadership vision and technical depth.
Perfect for CISOs, SOC managers, and anyone aiming to build or modernize next-generation security operations.
From Reactive to Designed Security Operations A vision for modern, threat-informed, human-centered SOCs. Vision Statement: “Transform SOCs from alert-driven silos into adaptive, intelligence-driven ecosystems that think in context, learn continuously, and align with business outcomes.” Core Principles: Threat-Informed Detection (MITRE ATT&CK, DeTT&CT, TID-CMM) Architectural Clarity (SIEM, SOAR, NDR, Cloud Telemetry) Human-Centered Operations (STRATA Framework) Design Philosophy: Minimal complexity, maximal meaning. SOCs should feel engineered, not improvised.
Evolving SOCs Through the STRATA Model Six dimensions of maturity: Strategy, Talent, Resilience, Automation, Telemetry, Adaptability. Level SOC Focus Key Outcome Level 1 – Reactive Alert fatigue, ad hoc response Volume-driven operations Level 2 – Organized Defined playbooks, visibility baseline Predictable processes Level 3 – Informed ATT&CK-aligned detections, contextual alerts Reduced false positives Level 4 – Adaptive Threat-informed automation, purple teaming Detection efficiency Level 5 – Designed Strategic telemetry, data-driven insights Business-aligned SOC
From Alerts to Outcomes — Measuring What Matters Success is not how many alerts we detect, but how intelligently we decide. Detection Maturity Index (DMI): % coverage of priority TTPs (via TID-CMM mapping) Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): Ratio of validated detections to total alerts Response Agility: Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) / Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) trend Automation Leverage: % of tier-1 alerts auto-triaged or enriched Context Fidelity: Number of detections enriched with threat intel or asset context Business Confidence Index: How well the SOC supports business resilience, compliance, and innovation.
