The SOC
Multiple centres,
none of them closes.
Multiple security operations centres, with further offices in the UK, the USA, Pakistan and Kuwait. Every SOC is online around the clock.
It is deliberately not a follow-the-sun model. Each SOC is staffed at every hour rather than covering its own daylight and handing over, so cover does not depend on which part of the world happens to be awake.
On shift in all three, at every hour: senior analysts, L3 analysts, incident responders and AI developers. That last one is unusual and it is the point — when an investigation needs a tool that does not exist yet for a customer estate, the people who build it are already at work.
