    @Nepali Sandhya SOC is a process framework, its not part of Business Premium Subscription license. A security operations center (SOC) is a centralized function within an organization that integrates people, processes, and technology. A SOC implements the organization's overall cybersecurity framework. The SOC collaborates the organizational efforts to monitor, alert, prevent, detect, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity incidents. SOC teams, led by a SOC manager, may include incident responders, SOC analysts at levels 1, 2, and 3, threat hunters, and incident response managers.

    SOC teams use telemetry from across the organization's IT infrastructure, including networks, devices, applications, behaviors, appliances, and information stores. The teams then co-relate and analyze the data, to determine how to manage the data and which actions to take.

    As a Security Operations Center (SOC) manager, you need to have overall efficiency metrics and measures at your fingertips to gauge the performance of your team. You'll want to see incident operations over time by many different criteria, like severity, MITRE tactics, mean time to triage, mean time to resolve, and more. Microsoft Sentinel now makes this data available to you with the new SecurityIncident table and schema in Log Analytics and the accompanying Security operations efficiency workbook. You'll be able to visualize your team's performance over time and use this insight to improve efficiency. You can also write and use your own KQL queries against the incident table to create customized workbooks that fit your specific auditing needs and KPIs.
