The cost of a SOC is prohibitive to most organisations. In an ideal Cyber Security utopia every organisation would have their own SOC or SOC like solution provided to them, allowing them to be proactive.
But because of the huge investment needed very few organisations do have their own SOC. Artic Wolf, whose platform provides a SOC service estimated the cost to set up one – of which most is people and infrastructure – at more than $1 million a year then plus the technological solutions they use.
With that in mind it won’t surprise you to know that a solution like Artic Wolf also requires significant investment which means even most SOC solutions are out of the reach of all but the largest organisations.
The high cost means that most organisations are reactive to cyber threats rather than proactive.
There is an alternative. Take WatchGuard’s Security Solutions. All cloud managed with a single pane of glass to control your network with Total Security, your Wi-Fi, your Identity Security and your Advanced Endpoint protection. So very simple to control and much better value than multi solutions and an MDR solution to match. And what’s more with the Advanced Endpoint as the driver – a solution that is so lightweight it will still work on Windows XP machines (but unless you have critical machinery or equipment that has to be on XP, you shouldn’t of course have it deployed) – you have access to WatchGuard’s MDR service.
We are WatchGuard Gold Partners with decades of combined expertise and coming soon we (or rather our cyber security experts) will provide a full SOC-as-a-service like 24/7 MDR service backed by WatchGuard’s SOC which will be affordable for almost all organisations.
What is MDR?
Managed Detection and Response or MDR is proactive service that identifies threats, monitors and response capabilities provided 24/7 by cyber security experts all provided in a cost-effective way so that almost all organisations can be pro-active about their cyber security.
