The number of cyber-attacks have substantially increased over the past decade resulting in huge organizational financial losses. Indeed, it is no longer a matter of "if" but "when" a security incident will take place. A Security Operations Center(SOC) adoption will help in the detection, identification, prevention, and resolution of issues before they end up causing extensive cyber-related damage. In this paper, our proposed framework is brought about to address the problem that current open-source SOC implementations are plagued with. These include lack of ability to be strengthened on the fly, slow development processes, and their ineptness for continuous timely updates. We, herein, propose a framework that would offer a fully automated open-source SOC deployment; otherwise dubbed, a "plug-and-play framework"; full horizontal scalability incorporating a modular architecture. These underpinning features are meant to mitigate underlying SOC challenges, which often emerge as a result of many pre-determined and repeated processes, bolstering their ability for expansion with new tools. This is on top of enhancing their ability to handle more servers in the clusters as a single logical unit. We also introduce a new system of its kind called a Programmable Plugin-based Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (PPIDPS). This system will extend a SOC's ability to add any tool to the monitored devices while collecting logs that can trigger alerts whenever a suspicious behavior is detected.
