Explanation

In the context of a Security Operations Center (SOC), EPS typically refers to “Events Per Second,” which is a measure of the number of security events processed in one second. The correct formula for calculating EPS in a SOC environment is the number of correlated events divided by the time in seconds. Correlated events are those that have been analyzed and aggregated by the SOC’s security information and event management (SIEM) system, indicating a potential security incident. This metric helps in understanding the operational load and performance of the SOC. material and best practices, which emphasize the importance of understanding and managing SOC operational metrics such as EPS for effective security monitoring and incident response12.
