How much should you pay for SOC as a service? How does that compare to the true cost of building a SOC in-house?
What about offshoring vs. outsourcing to a US-based provider?
Our FREE interactive calculator can help you estimate your security costs.
This calculator covers:
- SOC manager salary
- SOC analyst salaries
- Software costs (EDR, SIEM, etc.)
- Staff training costs
- Security infrastructure costs (VPN, firewall, etc.)
Most companies will save 60-80% with US-based SOC as a service when compared with the cost of running a SOC in-house, whether in the US or off shore. This is especially true in the age of the AI-powered modern SOC.
