Abstract: This paper presents a conceptual approach towards a public sector security operations centre capability at a regional level. This study supports the concept of the Government Cyber Coordination Centre as detailed in the UK Government Cyber Security Strategy December 2022, supporting the ‘Defend as One’ approach. The paper further proposes that the approach should work with nodes at a peer sub-regional and local level with information being aggregated at a regional or national level, with central oversight. This paper also considers some of the open-source tools available to support a security operations centre (SOC) approach, offering a framework for local and distributed analysis to reduce traffic flows and improve the flow of useful information to the SOC.
