This document outlines a roadmap for security operations excellence with three levels: Level 1 focuses on initial security operations like planning risk management, collecting asset information, and operating basic security tools. Level 2 is forming security operations through monitoring for events, protecting from known threats, and reacting to incidents using tools like a SIEM and advanced firewall. Level 3 optimizes security operations through analyzing logs for bad behavior, preventing further damage, and hardening defenses against new threats using tools like malware sandboxing and forensics.
