Topic: What Makes SOCaaS Essential in the Current Cyber Threat Landscape?
Abstract: The enhanced mobility of the workforce and the transition to remote work is followed by the emergence of new threat vectors and a rise in their sophistication. With workers accessing data, applications, systems, and services both on-premises and in the cloud, cybercrimes threaten multi-national organizations as well as medium and small-scale IT firms.
Security in the digital era demands that businesses, regardless of size, consistently monitor the entire scope of their network operations. Security operations centers as a service (SOCaaS) offer the most effective way for organizations to do this.
SOCaaS encompasses the monitoring and management of intrusion detection systems, firewalls, antivirus and antispam applications, virtual private networks, endpoint protection platforms, and endpoint detection and response, which can help organizations combat cyberattacks. Join our webinar to explore how SOCaaS helps reduce the complexity and costs associated with threat detection and incident response.
Key Takeaways:
- How does managed SOC (SOCaaS) work?
- How can an organization benefit from SOCaaS?
- How can SOCaaS optimize an organization’s protection, detection, and response capabilities?
