¶ Welcome to SOC.OS
Welcome to the SOC.OS on-boarding process, we’re really excited to have you signed up, and look forward to helping you streamline managing your SOC operations going forward.
You will already have access to your SOC.OS environment, but before we can start to show you the benefit of SOC.OS, there’s a number of actions we’ll need to step through.
We’ve made configuring your security tools to forward alerts to the SOC.OS platform as simple as possible, and we’ll be there to support you every step of the way. For most of the SOC.OS community, this setup can be completed in approximately 3 hours; consisting of some initial preparation steps and followed by an on-boarding session with us.
In addition to being able to contact us with any questions you might have, you can also check out our documentation here on the SOC.OS Wiki where you will find a number of step-by-step guides to help you get set up.
Your welcome environment will be available for you for 10 days from signing, after which it will be persisted for ongoing use in your trial and beyond. Please see below for the steps to get you live.
