Prepare a short "talking points" paper in which you answer the question: Does Sifers-Grayson need a SOC?
In your talking points, you should address the phases of the incident response process (i.e. Incident Detection, Containment, Eradication, & Recovery) and discuss the role of that a Security Operations Center will play in making sure that incidents are handled and reported in an effective and efficient manner.
Your "talking points" should be 3 to 5 paragraphs long.
Your audience is a group of Sifers-Grayson executives who are unhappy at the thought of diverting more profits to pay for yet another IT manager and subordinate staff.
Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your article.
