SOC as a service (Managed SOC) is specifically suitable for organizations that want to have an in-depth understanding of what is happening within their network, both on premise and in the cloud, to be able to respond immediately to possible threats.
A Security Operations Center (SOC) is the team within an organization responsible for detecting, preventing, investigating, and responding to cyber threats. A SOC should perform round-the-clock monitoring of an organization’s network and address potential threats to sensitive data, computing systems, and an organization’s other digital resources.
Some challenges that organizations opting for managed SOC services commonly encounter include:
Onboarding Process
Managed SOC providers typically have their own security stack that they use, and these solutions must be deployed and configured within a customer’s environment before the provider can start offering services. This onboarding process can be time-consuming and may leave an organization vulnerable to cyber threats during the transition.
Enterprise Data Security
An organization’s SOC-as-a-Service provider needs deep insight into an organization’s network in order to identify and respond to potential threats. Achieving this insight requires the organization to send large amounts of sensitive data to their service provider. This need to hand over control of a large amount of potentially sensitive information can make enterprise data security and risk management more challenging.
Cost of Log Delivery
SOC-as-a-Service providers commonly operate their cybersecurity solutions on-site using data feeds and network taps from their customers’ networks. This means that log files and other alert data are generated and stored on the provider’s network and systems. Gaining access to full log data from a managed SOC provider can be expensive for an organization.
Regulatory Considerations
The regulatory landscape is rapidly growing more complex, and organizations need to put into place security controls and policies to achieve and demonstrate compliance with regulations. While a managed SOC provider may offer support for regulatory compliance, the use of a third-party provider may complicate regulatory compliance requirements and requires trust in a service provider to fulfill their compliance-related duties.
