Cybersecurity is a critical concern for businesses of all sizes and industries. According to a report, the average data breach cost in 2023 was $4.24 million, the highest in 17 years. Moreover, cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, frequent, and targeted, posing a significant challenge for organizations to defend themselves.
Organizations need a dedicated team of security experts who can monitor, detect, and respond to incidents 24/7 to protect their IT infrastructure and data from cyber threats. However, building and maintaining a security operations center (SOC) can be costly, complex, and time-consuming, especially for small- and medium-sized businesses that lack the resources and expertise.
This is where managed SOC services can help. Managed SOC services provide organizations access to a team of security professionals who can handle all aspects of cybersecurity, from prevention to remediation. Managed SOC services offer several benefits, such as:
Quick detection and response to security incidents with round-the-clock monitoring and alerting.
Reduction in expenses associated with hiring, training, and retaining security staff, as well as purchasing and maintaining security tools and technologies.
Access to experienced and certified security analysts with the skills and knowledge to handle various cyber threats and incidents.
Organizations can meet the regulatory and industry standards for cybersecurity, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001.
