How SOC Services Can Protect Your Organization from Cyber Threats
A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a service that can help maximize your business’ cybersecurity. A SOC monitors your business at all hours of the day and sends out security alerts in real time. A SOC is a very efficient service that is important to leverage as technology and threat actors rapidly advance. simpleroute can provide partnered SOC services as part of our security offering.
What is a SOC?
A SOC is a team of people that have a frontline review of all of our networks, systems, and applications. It unifies security tools and responses to threats, which improves preventative security measures. A SOC team analyses threat data and gets alerts about anything suspicious and then notifies our team of any issues or threats instantaneously, giving us insight on what to fix.
SOC differs from standard IT services in that a SOC is looking specifically at security events. The SOC team receives security alerts and notifies the IT team at simpleroute to allow us to address the noted alerts. We have the tools to isolate devices and make address issues either remotely or onsite. Our team will receive and manage all of your business’ SOC alerts so you won’t need to bear the responsibility of responding to incidents.
The Benefits of SOC Services
Some key reasons to consider SOC services:
- Cost effective: Setting up and maintaining an in-house SOC can be expensive. Managed SOC services typically operate on a subscription-based model, which can be more cost-effective and provide predictable budgeting.
- More focus on core operations: Managed SOC services use cybersecurity experts who specialize in threat detection and response. This expertise can be valuable, especially for businesses that may not have the resources to hire and train an in-house team.
- Manages compliance: Many industries have strict regulatory requirements for data security. A managed SOC can help ensure that your business complies with these regulations by providing regular audits, reports, and compliance checks.
- Flexibility: As your business grows, so does the level of security you need to protect it. SOC services are easily adjustable to scale with your business. SOC also uses components of machine learning to always keep up with the latest security technologies and practices.
