Hi-tech ‘Security Operations Centre’ soon in State

A state-of-art Security Operations Centre (SOC) is proposed to be set up under CG-SKY project at Chhattisgarh State Data Centre in Raipur soon, officials informed.

A provision of Rs 15 crore for setting up of SOC under CG-SKY scheme has been made, officials informed.

The SOC will ensure round-the-clock monitoring of the cyber security posture of the State of Chhattisgarh by preventing, detecting, analysing and responding to cyber security threats and incidents.
