Every business–no matter its size–is a bullseye for cyber criminals. Data breaches cost an average of $4.45 million globally, according to IBM. Many people think the best way to bolster an organization’s proactive protections is to build a Security Operations Center (SOC) to monitor, detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats 24×7.
But there are many drawbacks: the cost of hardware and software is expensive; even more expensive is the challenge of attracting, training, and retaining skilled security experts in a world of high demand
and low talent supply.
This whitepaper lays out the real requirements for a SOC, and proposes a practical, affordable way to get the targeted, tailored protection you need, without breaking the bank.
