Key Trends in the Market
SOC as a service (SOCaaS) is a security solution in which a third-party provider operates and manages the security operations centre (SOC) of an organisation. Under this solution, the external provider supervises all security tasks such as network monitoring, threat detection, as well as investigation of an attack, risk, and compliance, among others.
- The provision of scalability in SOCaaS, through which the services can be scaled depending upon the evolving needs of an organisation, is one of the crucial SOC as a service market trends. The scalability feature enables SOCaaS to accommodate more resources in times of need compared to the traditional model, which is constrained by its finite resources.
- SOCaaS also offer businesses access to high-end security solutions such as advanced threat detection, threat hunting, and breach and attack simulation, among others, for enhanced protection.
- The growing deployment of advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning into the SOCaaS model to analyse large volumes of data from multiple resources, identify patterns for possible threats and vulnerabilities, and make predictions based on those patterns also provides impetus to the SOC as a service market growth.
