The rapid rise of cybersecurity threats has led to the development of advanced security operations centers (SOCs) that can identify and respond to cyber-attacks in real-time. This research aims to design and implement a next-generation automated SOC using an automated ELK stack, threat hunting, intelligence, MITRE attack framework, and HIPAA compliance. The system will be evaluated using real-world scenarios to assess its effectiveness in enhancing SOC operations and threat identification. The study predicts that the next-generation automated SOC with an ELK stack will significantly improve cybersecurity operations by providing real-time network activity visibility, identifying, and analyzing threats, and automating response activities. The findings will emphasize the importance of incorporating new technologies into SOC operations and the need for continuous monitoring and enhancement. The study recommends further research into the integration of the ELK stack into automated SOC operations for better threat identification and response.
