Cost

Building and maintaining an in-house SOC can be costly, as it requires significant investment in technology, personnel, and ongoing maintenance. A managed SOC, on the other hand, allows organizations to outsource these costs to a third-party provider.

Access to latest technology

Managed SOC providers often have access to the latest security technologies, which allows organizations to benefit from the latest advancements in security without having to invest in them.

Scalability

A managed SOC can scale its services to match an organization’s changing security needs, whereas building an in-house SOC may require significant investment in resources, even when security requirements are not as high.

Time-saving

Building and maintaining an in-house SOC can be time-consuming, as it requires the organization to dedicate resources and personnel to the task. A managed SOC allows organizations to focus on their core business activities.

Expertise

Managed SOC providers typically have a team of experienced and certified security experts who can provide a higher level of expertise than an in-house team.

Compliance

Managed SOC providers can often assist organizations with compliance and regulatory requirements, such as HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, etc.

From silo wars to Cyber Security harmony: the magic of Managed XDR

Silos are bad; integration and collaboration are good. It’s fairly common wisdom across most aspects of the business landscape –

What is a SOC?

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a centralised unit that deals with security issues within an organisation. Its main functions include monitoring, detection, and response to security-related events. The SOC team is responsible for identifying potential security threats, analysing them, and taking appropriate measures to protect the organisation’s assets and data. The SOC typically includes a combination of people, processes, and technology to provide 24/7 monitoring and protection for an organisation’s IT infrastructure and data.

What is the difference between managed SOC and MDR?

The main difference between a Managed Security Operations Center (SOC) and a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service is in the scope and focus of their offerings.

A Managed SOC provides round-the-clock monitoring and protection for an organization’s IT infrastructure and data. The SOC team is responsible for identifying potential security threats, analysing them, and taking appropriate measures to protect the organisation’s assets and data. The team is made up of a combination of people, processes and technology to provide round-the-clock monitoring and protection for an organisation’s IT infrastructure and data.

On the other hand, an MDR service is more focused on detection and response to security incidents. MDR services use advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect and respond to potential threats in real-time. They also provide an incident response plan, and a team of experts who can investigate and resolve security incidents as they occur.

So, in summary, a Managed SOC provides a more comprehensive security solution, including monitoring and protection, whereas an MDR service is more focused on identifying and responding to security incidents. Both are great options to ensure that your organisation’s security needs are met in the most efficient, cost-effective and expert manner possible!

Why is having a managed SOC important?

Having a Managed Security Operations Center (SOC) is incredibly important for any organisation looking to ensure the protection of their assets and data. Here are just a few reasons why:

Cost-effective: Building and maintaining an in-house SOC can be costly, as it requires significant investment in technology, personnel, and ongoing maintenance. A managed SOC, on the other hand, allows organisations to outsource these costs to a third-party provider, saving money in the long run.
Expertise: Managed SOC providers have a team of experienced and certified security experts who can provide a higher level of expertise than an in-house team, ensuring that your organisation is in safe hands.
Scalability: A managed SOC can adapt its services to match an organisation’s changing security needs, whereas building an in-house SOC may require a large investment in resources even when security requirements are not as high.
Time-saving: Building and maintaining an in-house SOC can be very time-consuming, taking away precious time and resources from an organisation’s core business activities. A managed SOC allows organisations to focus on what they do best, while experts take care of security.
Access to the latest technology: Managed SOC providers often have access to the latest security technologies, which allows organisations to benefit from the latest advancements in security without having to invest in them.
Compliance: Managed SOC providers can often assist organisations with compliance and regulatory requirements, such as HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, etc.

All in all, a managed SOC provides a comprehensive security solution, including monitoring and protection, that is cost-effective, expert and efficient. It’s a no-brainer for any organization looking to protect their assets and data in the best way possible!
