Security operations center as a service (SOCaaS) is a cloud-based subscription model for managed threat detection and response that includes best-in-class SOC solutions and capabilities to help fill in gaps on existing security teams.
Benefits of SOC as a Service (SOCaaS)?
Outsourcing security operations and information security management provides a handful of benefits, including the following
Cost reductions
Faster detection and more efficient remediation to help streamline security events
Access to best-of-breed security solutions
Reducing the burden on internal SecOps teams
Continuous monitoring
Speeding up detection/response to deliver high-confidence alerts and reduce alert fatigue
Minimizing turnover and reducing security analyst burnout; removing mundane tasks
Reduced complexity
Lower cyber risk
Enhanced business scalability and agility
Conversely, issues from legacy SOC environments can include
Lack of visibility and context
Increased complexity of investigations
Lack of interoperability of systems
Lack of automation and orchestration
Inability to collect, process and contextualize threat intelligence data
Alert fatigue/noise from the high-volume, low-fidelity alerts of security controls
