A SOC (security operations center) is critical to maintaining security in today’s cyberthreat environment.
But how should you get the SOC services you need?
Is it better to hire analysts and purchase your own tooling or outsource with SOCaaS (SOC as a service)?
Our infographic offers a full cost comparison. For in-house SOC costs, we cover:
- Salaries for in-house SOC managers and analysts (~$612,000 per year)
- Recruitment, training, benefits, taxes, and infrastructure for an in-house SOC (~$484,000 per year)
- Future ongoing annual costs (salaries, benefits, taxes) (~$796,000 per year)
How does this compare to SOCaaS?
You might be surprised to learn that most companies save ~85% when outsourcing their SOC.
