Abstract:
With the ever-increasing sophistication of cyber threats and the need for robust security
operations, preserving user privacy has emerged as a paramount concern in the realm of
cyber security. This research aims to explore and propose effective strategies for preserving
privacy within security operations, striking a delicate balance between robust
threat detection and the safeguarding of individual privacy rights. The research will
delve into the challenges posed by the collection, storage, and analysis of vast amounts
of sensitive security data in security operations centers (SOC). It will identify potential
risks of privacy breaches and unauthorized access, shedding light on the implications
of data mishandling and its impact on user trust. Furthermore, it will investigate the
implementation of granular access controls and role-based permissions to ensure that
only authorized personnel can access specific security alerts and logs based on their
severity and relevance to their roles. A comparative analysis will be conducted to assess
the effectiveness of privacy-preserving practices on different scales, from small
and medium-sized enterprises to large organizations with expansive global networks.
By fostering a privacy-centric approach, the research aims to establish a harmonious
balance that upholds user privacy without compromising the efficacy of security operations.
