This document explains that effective cybersecurity, especially in finance where attackers are persistent, depends on fast, high-quality incident response led by a skilled SOC team that can detect, investigate, prevent, and respond using the right tools and frameworks such as NIST and MITRE. It highlights common blockers like insufficient preparedness, limited hands-on experience, and skills gaps, citing that 73% of organizations experienced an intrusion or breach partly due to cybersecurity skills gaps (Fortinet), and that organizations with an incident response team that extensively tested their incident response plan average $1.23M lower breach costs (IBM). The proposed approach is to assess candidates with hands-on simulations, reduce hiring and onboarding time, continuously upskill st
