SOC As A Service ( SOCaaS )

The Definitive Guide: White Paper Overview

Although similar, SOCaaS is not the same as Managed SIEM. The value proposition is similar, but the method of delivery is very different. SOCaaS uses cloud hosting and software agents to avoid the need for secure remote network access.

Outsourcing security monitoring offers a host of benefits to organizations, including greatly reduced costs, faster response times, and enhanced security outcomes.

While SOCaaS can be delivered as a stand-alone service, but it is often used in combination with other managed security services to fulfill the specific security and compliance needs of the customer organization.
