在一切都依赖于网络和连接的数字世界中，每个组织或公司都特别关注安全和网络管理，以保护一切免受日益增加的网络威胁和网络不当行为的影响。监控和响应是现在几乎每个公司都采用的主要策略之一，用于提供安全的组织环境，免受任何网络缺陷或安全威胁。
一般来说，如果我们会在许多组织中看到安全运营中心 (SOC) 和网络运营中心 (NOC)的功能互补，以确保顺利运营。他们都负责观察、识别、分析、确定优先级、升级和解决问题，但他们处理的问题和解决方案却大不相同。
那么让我们通过分析它们之间的差异来详细了解安全运营中心和网络运营中心。
1. 安全运营中心(SOC)：
安全运营中心简称为SOC。它主要通过识别影响信息资产安全的任何事件和警报来关注信息/数据安全。 SOC 员工持续监控和分析组织安全，并在发现问题时迅速做出响应，以确保组织 IT 基础设施的安全。所以SOC主要进行基于网络安全的操作。
2. 网络运营中心(NOC)：
网络运营中心简称为 NOC。它主要关注影响性能和可用性的任何与网络相关的事件和警报。 NOC 员工符合服务水平协议 (SLA) 并以减少停机时间的方式管理事件。它也被称为网络管理中心。它持续监督、监控和维护电信网络。如有必要，将分析网络的性能和健康状况，并执行任何所需的操作。
