What Counts as Real 24x7 SOC Coverage?
Many organizations believe they have 24x7 security monitoring because alerts are generated around the clock. Logs are being collected. A provider may be watching a queue.

The distinction matters because security operations are not defined by whether a tool can produce an alert at 2:00 a.m. They are defined by what happens after that alert appears. Who reviews it? What context do they have? Can they connect the signal to related activity across the environment? Do they kno
