Why Cybersecurity Needs a Risk Operations Center (ROC) — Not Just a SOC

Cybersecurity isn’t about chasing every new tool or trend — it’s about managing risk. In this clip, Qualys CEO Sumedh Thakar breaks down the three pillars of cyber risk management: mitigation, acceptance, and transfer.

He explains why many organizations are stuck in a reactive mode — running cyber whack-a-mole — and introduces a powerful shift: the Risk Operations Center (ROC). Unlike a SOC, which reacts to threats post-breach, a ROC proactively prioritizes what really matters.

As digital transformation accelerates and risk signals multiply, Sumedh argues it’s no longer about asking “What can we fix?” but “What’s truly worth fixing?”

If you’re a CISO, IT leader, or business executive looking to align your security strategy with actual business risk, this is the mindset shift that matters.
