Frequently asked questions

What is a managed SOC?

A managed security operations center is a service-based business approach where a company delegates all or part of SOC functions to an external managed SOC service provider. The main drivers for managed security services (SOC-as-a-Service) are cost saving, talent shortage, and proliferated use of the cloud.

What does a SOC monitor?

SOC teams leverage various technologies and tools to cover an organization's entire IT ecosystem and ensure its security 24/7. They monitor network activity, event logs, telemetry data, system signals, and endpoint events.

How much does a SOC cost?

The cost of SOC managed security services depends on several factors, including the 24/7 coverage, IT infrastructure scale, team size, seniority level of SOC experts, organization’s maturity level in terms of security, and more.
