A SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) is a cybersecurity offering provided by a third-party provider. It functions as a complete Security Operations Center (SOC) for an organization, delivering a range of security services and capabilities. A SOC is a central hub where security analysts monitor, detect, respond to, and mitigate cybersecurity threats.
Organizations have the option to delegate a range of security functions to a dedicated Security Operations Center (SOC) team. This includes services like Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Vulnerability Management, Endpoint Security, and various other detection and response tools. Companies may opt for a comprehensive subscription to the full spectrum of services offered. Importantly, all operations are conducted off-site and facilitated through cloud-based infrastructure.
