Why You Need a SOC

Proper IT security follows a 5-step model to defend against cyber threats: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover.

Most competent IT companies have at least a few of these bases covered, typically the ability to protect against threats (Anti-Virus) and to recover from disasters (Backup and Disaster Recovery).

Enter the SOC.  The Security Operations Center monitors your network 24/7 for anomalies, suspicious behavior, computers running tasks they shouldn't, or connecting to untrustworthy remote sites, and alerts us quickly so we can Detect and Respond to threats before they get to the point of recovery. 

Think of the SOC as a large facility with a bunch of computer nerds combing through thousands of data points, trying to paint a picture of what's going on in your network, day and night.  In reality, they use machine learning and artificial intelligence to pull the actionable data out of the noise, but in the end there is a human evaluating the data and making the call.

Large enterprises have been using SOC solutions for a while, but the technology hasn't quite been affordable for small to medium businesses until recently.  

Indevtech has partnered with a mainland SOC provider to provide managed SOC solutions for our clients.  We will eventually be updating our security stack to provide 24/7 SOC services for all of our managed clients.  In the meantime, if you would like to chat about how a SOC can bolster your security position, give us a call at (808) 529-4605 or email .
