Security Operations
The operating model the program runs on every day.
Security operations is where strategy meets the calendar. Detection coverage, alert handling, MSSP oversight, and the workflows that govern routine response all sit here — and most programs have grown by accident rather than design.
Antares Security defines what the operating model should look like, evaluates what it is doing today, and either governs it directly or hands a working operation back to the internal team with documented accountability.
- —CIOs and COOs accountable for operational performance of the security function
