Digital transformation driven by technologies like AI agents and custom AI has been essential
for increasing organizational efficiency and competitiveness. However, this evolution requires the
adoption of best practices and a structured approach to manage the complexities of security,
management, and compliance. Frameworks such as SOC (Security Operations Center), SIEM
(Security Information and Event Management), War Room, ITIL, incident management, and
standards such as NIST, CIS, and ISO are critical to ensuring that artificial intelligence is used
efficiently, securely, and in compliance with required regulations. Additionally, concepts like NOC
(Network Operations Center) and Command Center are becoming essential in managing IT and
security operations, complementing these practices and providing a robust infrastructure for
monitoring, incident resolution, and process optimization.

NOC and Command Center: Concept and Importance

A NOC (Network Operations Center) and a Command Center play a crucial role in managing
an organization's IT infrastructure and cybersecurity. Both centers are centralized structures
responsible for continuous monitoring, incident response, and real-time activity coordination,
ensuring that AI implementations and IT operations are performed without interruptions.

 NOC: Focused on monitoring the network, infrastructure, and communication systems,

the NOC’s role is to ensure that all network components operate without failures, address
issues, and coordinate preventive maintenance. When an organization uses AI agents
and custom AI, the NOC can also monitor the health of these systems, ensuring that any
failures or abnormal behaviors are detected early and corrected quickly.
 Command Center: While it shares some functions with the NOC, the Command Center
has a broader focus, responsible for coordinating strategic activities, monitoring critical
events, and managing more complex incidents. The Command Center operates in an
integrated manner, involving various IT, security, and compliance teams, and leverages
technologies like AI for automation of responses and predictive analytics.

These centers are essential to ensuring operational continuity and efficiency, especially in a world
where businesses are increasingly dependent on AI-based solutions, real-time data, and
interconnected environments.
Tool Diversity: The Foundation for Efficient Operations

The diversity of tools available for IT management, security, and compliance is vast and
constantly evolving, keeping pace with new organizational needs and technological demands. For
a NOC or Command Center to operate efficiently, it must have a diverse set of tools that allows
for monitoring, detection, analysis, and incident response in an automated or assisted manner.

These tools may include:

 Network and system monitoring tools: Like Nagios or Zabbix, which allow for the
monitoring of network and system performance and availability.
 Cybersecurity tools: Like Splunk (for security data analysis) or AlienVault, which help
identify vulnerabilities, threats, and attacks in real-time.
 Automation and orchestration tools: Like Ansible and Puppet, which help automate
repetitive tasks and ensure that system and network configurations are managed
efficiently.
 Incident management tools: Using platforms like ServiceNow or Jira is crucial to
ensure that all incidents are logged, prioritized, and addressed within the organization's
defined parameters, aligning with frameworks like ITIL.
 Predictive analytics and AI tools: Integrating AI and machine learning systems can
allow monitoring tools to anticipate failures or incidents before they become critical,
offering a proactive approach to incident management.

These tools are fundamental to ensuring that a NOC or Command Center performs effectively,
providing continuous visibility and control over IT infrastructure, AI systems, and corporate
networks.

The Importance of Creating Custom Scripts in Tools: Filtering Events/Tickets

To optimize the functioning of monitoring tools such as SIEM, SOC, and incident management
platforms, creating custom scripts is a highly important practice. These tools can generate
large volumes of events and tickets, many of which may be irrelevant or may overwhelm IT and
security teams. Creating customized scripts allows:

 Filtering irrelevant events: Custom scripts help filter out noise (false or unimportant
events), ensuring that only true and critical incidents are highlighted. This helps reduce
alert noise and improves the accuracy of analysis.
 Automating ticket processing: Creating scripts can automate ticket management, such
as assigning priorities, classifying incident types, or automatically forwarding them to the
responsible teams. This speeds up the response time and reduces resolution time.
 Customizing data analysis: Scripts can be tailored to recognize specific patterns, such
as known cyber-attacks or failures in custom systems, ensuring that relevant events are
quickly identified.
 Improving team efficiency: With event filtering and automation, security and IT teams
can focus their efforts on the most critical tasks, enhancing operational efficiency and
improving incident response time.

This custom script creation practice applies to both NOCs and Command Centers, where the
goal is to maintain an optimized operational environment without overburdening teams with
excessive alerts. Moreover, this process is also essential for alignment with security standards
like those from NIST, CIS, and ISO, which require an efficient monitoring and incident response
process.

SOC and SIEM: Integrating Security and Monitoring

The use of SOC (Security Operations Center) and SIEM (Security Information and Event
Management) is essential for monitoring and protecting AI implementations, especially in
corporate environments with multiple interconnected systems. The SOC provides the structure for
centralized monitoring, detection, response, and prevention of cyber threats. SIEM, on the other
hand, offers an integrated view of security and system event data, allowing rapid identification,
analysis, and response to incidents.

 Continuous monitoring: The combination of SOC and SIEM enables the detection of
abnormal behaviors and threats in real-time, which is essential for the security of AI
systems handling large volumes of sensitive data.
 Automated responses: Integrating AI into SOC and SIEM can automate incident
response, speeding up risk mitigation and improving operational efficiency.

NIST standards, such as NIST 800-53, which defines security controls for federal systems, and
CIS Controls, which provide a set of essential security practices, are crucial for guiding the
implementation of SOC and SIEM in a corporate environment.

War Room: Rapid Response to Security Incidents

In an environment where security incidents can have significant impacts, the concept of a War
Room becomes critical. A War Room is a virtual or physical space where incident response
teams come together to coordinate actions in real-time when a security breach or attack occurs.

For organizations leveraging AI, the War Room becomes essential when AI begins to detect
potential threats. AI integration in this process can speed up incident analysis, while security
experts collaborate to make quick, informed decisions.

 Real-time analysis: AI can provide valuable insights during a crisis, helping analysts
prioritize incidents based on real-time data.
 Efficient collaboration: War Room tools allow security, IT, and compliance teams to
work collaboratively with a shared view of threats and immediate responses.
ITIL: Continuous Improvement and IT Service Management

Adopting the ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) framework is fundamental for
companies using AI and other cutting-edge technologies. ITIL provides best practices for IT
service management, enabling organizations to implement well-defined processes for service
delivery and support.

In the context of AI, ITIL can be used to improve change management, deployment, and
maintenance of AI systems. Incident management in particular benefits from ITIL, as the
framework helps organize the processes of identifying, analyzing, and resolving issues in a
structured manner.

 Change management: Ensuring that any changes to AI systems are well-planned,

tested, and documented to minimize service disruptions.
 Incident management: ITIL defines clear processes for incident management, enabling
a quick and efficient response to issues or failures in AI systems, with root cause analysis
to prevent recurrence.

Incident Management: Efficient Response and Compliance

Incident management plays a crucial role in protecting AI systems from failures, cyber-attacks,
and other operational issues. Implementing best practices in incident management ensures that
organizations can quickly respond to any type of disruption or failure.

 Incident response planning: AI can be used to identify patterns and anticipate incidents
before they happen, allowing for a more proactive response.
 Compliance with regulations: Incident management must also align with compliance
regulations such as GDPR or LGPD to ensure that incident responses respect data
privacy and security.

Additionally, ISO 27035 directly addresses information security incident management, providing
practical guidelines for the incident response process, while NIST 800-61 offers a more technical
approach to incident response, focusing on the analysis and mitigation of cyber-attacks.
