MANAGED SOC
Spend Less Time On Alerts & Small Tasks And Focus On Big Picture Security For Your Team.
OVERVIEW
What Is A Managed SOC ?
Managed SOC, also known as SOC as a Service, is a subscription-based offering whereby organizations outsource threat detection and incident response. Based on the concept of turning an internal security operations center (SOC) into an external cloud-based service, a managed SOC offers IT organizations external cybersecurity experts that monitor your logs, devices, cloud environments, and network for known and evolving advanced threats.
Positioned as a managed service offering, SOC as a Service provides organizations with a team of cybersecurity experts dedicated to monitoring, detecting, and investigating threats across an organization’s entire enterprise.
In some cases, remediation of detected threats can be accomplished by the outsourced security team, but in others, the SOC team works in partnership with internal IT teams to remediate detected threats. CSG is a leading provider of end-to-end cybersecurity, digital forensics and breach response services. Our Cyber Incident Response experts are skilled at mitigating the damaging effects of cyber-attacks and help businesses efficiently recover from incidents with minimal business disruption and your reputation intact.
A SOC as a Service can offer 24×7 monitoring without requiring organizations to make a significant investment in security software, hardware, and other infrastructure. Instead, organizations can rapidly gain access to a SOC and begin monitoring for cyberthreats, cost-effectively improving the organization’s security posture.
Why Use A Managed SOC From CSG
You have limited internal security and/or SOC expertise
There’s not enough budget for capital expenditures
It takes too long to establish your own SOC
An internal SOC may not improve the organization’s security posture
BENEFITS
Benefits Of Managed CSG SOC
Organizations that are serious about their cybersecurity posture may quickly realize how significant the cost will be and time necessary to hire security experts, negotiate and purchase security software and infrastructure, install and configure the SOC, and then begin working to monitor for threats. CSG’s Managed SOC can remove these hurdles and provide a advanced SOC quickly and efficiently.
Instant Expertise
Not every organization has in-house cybersecurity experts, and not all can afford to hire them. With SOC as a Service, organizations gain the use of a team of cybersecurity experts and analysts that are trained and experienced to monitor for and remediate today’s advanced cybersecurity threats.
Reduces SOC Complexity
The considerable work necessary to design, implement, configure, test, manage, maintain, upgrade, and operate an internal SOC is not something most organization have the time or expertise to do well, if at all. Choosing to engage a SOC as a Service provider simplifies the equation; you pay for services utilizing a SOC that already exists.
Increases Speed Of Deployment
Because there is no need to build a SOC, the deployment time is significantly reduced. Instead of taking quarters or years to be up and running, some SOC as a Service provider can be up and monitoring an organization’s environment in about a month.
Improves Threat Detection & Response
In short, providers of SOC as a Service are often better equipped to provide threat detection and response than their client organizations. Using the latest threat intelligence, a team of dedicated security experts, best of breed security solutions, and automated response orchestration, SOC as a Service increases the speed, efficiency, and effectiveness of threat detection and response capabilities far beyond that of internal security teams.
Cost-Effective Security
Those same considerations around SOC complexity (designing, implementing, configuring, testing, managing, maintaining, upgrading, and operating a SOC) add to the overall cost to an organization. The shift from organizations paying for each aspect of an internal SOC, to making a single payment each month, makes the using of SOC as a Service a cost-effective choice.
Obtain Best-In-Class Intelligence
CSG offer real-time threat intelligence technology to identify advanced malware attacks, persistent threats, and malicious attacks. We will use a threat R&D laboratory to perform deep and continuous research on these types of advanced threats. This type of intelligence is not easily available to internal organisations and takes time to master using advanced tools.
METHODOLOGY
Our SOC Methodology
CSG using its qualified experts and industry-leading tools can quickly gain insight into the compromise. Systems that can be analyzed include mobile phones and smart devices, network switches and routers, file storage systems, printers, and IoT devices. Our expert will look for suspicious activity in various locations including the:
Detect
We use our advanced, two-stage threat detection engine and a blend of techniques to weed out false positives and identify true threats—the ones that warrant deeper human investigation.
Investigate
Our experts investigate these threats and escalate the confirmed incidents to you, in accordance with your service level agreement, and following the preferred escalation procedure.
Hunt
Human-led threat hunting exercises augment the automated threat detection process.
These exercises are prioritized based on your company profile, critical assets, prevalent threat actors, current threat intelligence, high risk TTPs, and other input you provide. Malicious findings are escalated to you.
Respond
Based on the nature of the security incident, we can actively take pre-approved containment and remediation measures. or provide this guidance to you.
We also recommend policy or security control changes to prevent similar security incidents from arising.
