What is a S.O.C. as a Service?

SOC_6.jpg

A Security Operations Center (S.O.C.) is a team of cyber experts responsible for monitoring and analyzing cyber security incidents on the one hand and executing remediations and forensics on the other. A S.O.C.’s goal is to detect, analyze and respond to cyber incidents using a combination of technological solutions such as SIEMs, processes and cyber intelligence findings.

Security operations centers typically divide themselves into two groups: commodity and expert S.O.C.s. While commodity S.O.C.s follow a 'plug and play' strategy, the expert S.O.C. focuses on the organizational specifics and implements complex strategies such as the 'hacker's point of view' approach.

A S.O.C. as a service team covers all objectives of a S.O.C. for a third party. This outsourced unit works closely together with the organizational incident response teams to ensure security gaps are addressed quickly upon discovery.
