What is a Secure Operating Center
Overall, a SOC is a critical component of an organisation's cybersecurity program, providing continuous monitoring, threat detection and response, and proactive security measures to protect against cyber threats. Investing in a SOC can help organisations minimise the impact of security incidents, ensure compliance with regulations, and improve their overall security posture.?
That sounds labour-intensive and full of expensive AI license fees. What are the costs likely to be??
You’re right! A SOC is prohibitively expensive to operate.
The cost of setting up and running a SOC can be significant, and it's important to carefully consider the scope of the SOC's responsibilities, the size of the organisation, and the level of expertise required when planning the SOC's budget. However, investing in a SOC can provide significant benefits in terms of improved security posture, reduced risk, and increased compliance.?
