Expense vs Necessity: How Managed Security Operations Center (SOC) services can transform an Organization's Security Posture?

According to economic times, the average cost of a simple data breach could stagger upwards of two million dollars. Scale to the entire security landscape including planned attacks, and that number shoots significantly beyond the annual revenues of most SMEs around the globe. The situation aggravates further when considered that most security systems and technologies deployed worldwide operate primarily for signature threats, common risks, and rule-based general attacks. No wonder, a single planned cyberattack could jeopardize a business beyond return.

Average Security Operations Center receives approximately 10,000 alerts per day alone.

78% of firms planning to bolster Zero Trust security operations

Amidst such an ever-evolving threat landscape, the need for an extensive, advanced Security Operations Center with security measures is paramount. However, the same along with hiring a dedicated team of security experts results in towering expenses for any firm, regardless of vertical and size. In addition, skilled resources specialized in threat research, security engineering, SIEM, incident analysis are quite rare, extending the resource cost concerns.

Enter Managed Security Operations Center (SOC) Services

Managed Security Operations Center or Managed SOC Services could well be the answer to this deadlock. With Cloud4C Managed SOC services, centralize your security operations including threat monitoring, investigation, research, detection, incident analysis, and response orchestration across all assets 24/7: applications, networks, data, middleware, platforms, perimeter and endpoint networks, cloud architectures, and on-prem IT infrastructure.

Asset Visibility and Protection

The SOC team holds complete visibility and protects the client’s entire IT stack: data, applications, hosting assets, middleware-OS, platforms, architectures, VMs, Cloud platforms, IT infra, networks, IoT and Endpoint devices, and more. The team is responsible to collect telemetry or data from all these assets and continually monitor threats 24/7

Image for asset visibility and protection

Tools and Technology expertise

The SOC-as-a-service architecture and its team is equipped with advanced security tools and frameworks such as Threat Intelligence, IAM, Incident Analysis, Deep Threat Predictions, Vulnerability Assessment, Malware detection, and more. Occasionally the team harbours tailored tools for different types of IT or cloud assets. Integrate advanced automation solutions to modernize threat lifecycle management.

Image for tools and technology expertise

Preventive Maintenance

Once an incident has happened, there’s little left to do apart from initiating a fast threat remediation action. However, the major advantage of a full-fledged SOC services team lies in its constant preparation to prevent threats: security roadmap development and updates, security systems upgrading, IT health monitoring, updating firewalls and policies, patching vulnerabilities, whitelisting-blacklisting and protecting applications, disaster recovery planning, etc.

preventive maintenance

Threat Monitoring

Gain round-the-clock threat monitoring and real-time risk assessment across the entire Cloud and IT landscape. Integrate advanced monitoring tools like SIEM, EDR, Behavioural Analytics, Intelligence tracking solutions to help the adopted threat lifecycle management solutions effectively differentiate between suspicious, malicious user behavior and normal day-to-day traction

threat monitoring

Alert Management

In-house IT teams could well be over-boggled with alerts without an additional supervision layer. Alerts generated by the embraced threat monitoring solutions are carefully analyzed by SOC services teams to decide the proper course of action, granting peace of mind to the IT department.

Image for alert management

Log Management

The SOC-as-a-service team collects telemetry and maintains logs of all network, data, and communications operations on a 24/7 basis. Ideally, any IT or Cloud workflow is passed by the SOC team’s radar so that proper logs could be maintained and lurking threats identified.

Image for log management

Threat Response and Recovery Management

Upon detection of an incident, SOC team expedites threat response actions including cleaning/securing databases, updating or deleting intruded files, truncating harmful processes, cleansing the system for the particular threat attack.

Also, the team initiates the recovery protocols: cleansing and restarting endpoints, rebooting and updating/configuring systems, taking extra backups, distributing copies across multiple secure landscapes, and identifying the malware or ransomware specifically to realize stronger defenses in the future.

Image for threat response and recovery management

Root Cause Analysis

Once a security incident has occurred, it’s imperative to run a comprehensive investigation and analysis to determine the root IT infra fault or gap that allowed the threat in the first place. SOC team takes full accountability for root cause investigations to realize a stronger, updated organizational security architecture.

root cause analysis tools

Advancement and Upgrades

The SOC team is responsible for constantly upgrading and updating utilized security systems, solutions, platforms, tools, architectures, frameworks to align with the modern, advanced versions. This allows the organization to continually gain stronger protection against the constantly evolving cyber threats.
