// SECURE YOUR FUTURE
An information security operations center “ISOC” or “SOC” is a facility where enterprise information systems (websites, applications, databases, data centers and servers, networks, desktops and other endpoints) are.
A SOC is related to the people, processes, and technologies that provide situational awareness through the detection, containment, and remediation of IT threats. A SOC will handle any threatening IT incident, and will ensure that it is properly identified, analyzed, communicated, investigated and reported.
The SOC also monitors applications to identify a possible cyber-attack or intrusion (event) and determines if it is a genuine malicious threat (incident) and if it could affect business
// WHEN CONSIDERING WHETHER TO BUILD YOUR OWN SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTER (SOC) OR OUTSOURCE IT, THERE ARE PROS AND CONS TO EACH APPROACH. A DECISION THAT ALIGNS WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION’S NEEDS, CAPABILITIES, AND RISK TOLERANCE IS ESSENTIAL TO ACHIEVING THE BEST SECURITY OUTCOMES.
Building an in-house SOC provides full control over security operations, allowing for customized approaches to meet your organization’s specific needs. Your dedicated team can directly interact with other IT staff, facilitating better integration and faster response times. Additionally, an in-house SOC can develop a deep understanding of your systems, enabling more tailored incident detection and response strategies. If your company operates in a highly regulated industry, an internal SOC may allow for tighter control over sensitive data and compliance requirements.
The other advantage of building an in-house SOC is the ability to gradually expand capabilities, with ongoing training and skills development for your team. If you have the resources to hire top talent and invest in the latest tools, an internal SOC can become a strategic asset.
While in-house SOCs have their advantages, building one from scratch is resource-intensive. The costs of staffing, training, and acquiring security tools can be prohibitive for many organizations. Moreover, attracting and retaining experienced cybersecurity professionals is a challenge, given the ongoing skills shortage in the industry.
