SOCaaS – A proactive approach to security
What is SOCaaS?
Short for Security Operations Centre as a service, SOCaaS offers a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that gives flexibility and reliability to your digital landscape. SOCaaS takes the skills of trained cybersecurity professionals and applies it to your business, removing the hard work from hiring a professional yourself but keeping any threats under wraps.
What technologies and services are included in SOCaaS?
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response): EDR oversees and safeguards individual endpoints, identifying and addressing threats at the endpoint level. It detects and responds to any threats, and provides reports on the individual device.
XDR (Extended Detection and Response): XDR builds upon EDR, encompassing multiple security layers and devices across the organisation's network. XDR builds a bigger picture of data from multiple sources, giving a holistic approach to detecting and responding to threats.
MDR (Managed Detection and Response): MDR is a managed cybersecurity service dedicated to proactive detection and response to threats. Truis and other MDR professionals leverage numerous technologies and threat intelligences to monitor a business's IT environment.
NDR (Network Detection and Response): NDR focuses solely on monitoring network traffic in an IT environment. NDR detects any abnormal activity on the network and any potential threats/attempted intrusions.
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management): The SIEM system gathers extensive cybersecurity data and consolidates it from various origins onto a unified platform. SIEM facilitates both real-time monitoring and retrospective analysis of security incidents, thereby bringing forth valuable insights for threat detection within a given environment.
What are the benefits of SOCaaS?
24x7 monitoring: Implementing an SOC ensures that you have monitoring around the clock, triaging the most critical threats in your IT environment in the event of an attack.
Scalability: An outsourced SOC can help with any rapidly-scaling enterprise. Being able to effectively scale up any security protocols as more devices and infrastructure enters the IT environment ensures the business's safety is always covered and cost-effective.
Get help from the experts: Hiring a permanent cybersecurity expert is often not an option for some organisations. For some, a more effective investment is bringing on a SOCaaS provider who has the expertise and trained professionals ready to help.
Cost-effectiveness: As stated before, it's not always an option to expand IT departments and hire a team of cybersecurity professionals. Not just the team, but the tools for the job are also additional costs to the business. A SOCaaS provider takes all of these costs and wraps them into one monthly or yearly price, making the investment a simple, straight-forward endeavour.
