This white paper will cover everything security leaders need to know about SOCaaS and help them determine whether it could be an appropriate solution to their organization’s security and compliance needs. most organizations struggle to identify the ideal cybersecurity partners, solutions, and services for their needs. This process is made even more difficult by the industry’s prevalence of confusing jargon, conflicting advice, and misleading service descriptions.
Key Learning Points:
- SOCaaS is a managed security monitoring service that encompasses a variety of traditional SOC functions, including log management, intrusion detection, file integrity monitoring, and security incident investigation.
- 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.
