In-House SOC vs MSSP
To build an In-House Security Operations Center (SOC) or partner with a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP)?
With an alarming number of attacks targeting your organization each day, making the right decision on where to place your security is crucial to protecting your network, sensitive data, and reputation. To ensure your cybersecurity needs are fulfilled, we've laid out what to know before investing in a security operations center.

Technology
Finding, training, and retaining the talent you need for an effective SOC against the backdrop of a global cyber skills shortage is a growing challenge.
It can often take months to source, interview, hire, and onboard security experts before beginning to achieve adequate coverage.
Without the right people, your security operations center cannot be effective and your costly technology investments cannot reach their full potential.
Your SOC must be able to effectively respond to a range of incidents, adapt to different scenarios, and quickly pivot when necessary to successfully remediate threats.
Doing so efficiently requires mature processes and procedures which take time to implement and seasoned talent to maintain.
But, a competitive job market means there is high turnover, so developing and maintaining mature processes is increasingly difficult as cyber experts move from job to job for more responsibilities and higher salaries.
Standing up a SOC not only requires talented security experts and mature processes, but also significant software and hardware infrastructure investments.
Your technologies are crucial as they ensure you maintain visibility over your networks, gather data from across your environments, analyze that data so that alerts are triaged and prioritized for your analysts, and automate responses to the more menial aspects of SOC management.
However, while technologies can be force multipliers and enablers, they are not a full solution alone.
Good technology needs good people capable of tuning and refining them, and utilizing best practices to back them up.
