The Security Operations Center (SOC) has become a familiar term across many services and organizations, with many attempting to either stand up an in-house team, or outsource security operations to a managed services provider.
While a security-in-depth approach to implementing technology designed to detect, slow, and/or halt adversaries is great, no technology or combination thereof can absolutely guarantee an organization will not experience a breach.
That’s why it requires highly skilled security analysts, maintaining persistent 24x7 eyes-on-glass monitoring to augment the technology and effectively provide ongoing coverage for analysis, detection, and response against known and unknown threats.
The challenge for most organizations who choose to build an in-house SOC is that it’s incredibly expensive to set up. Between implementing technologies and hiring analysts to maintain 24x7 coverage, it can be well over a $750,000 budget spent in the first year alone!
What those SOC costs won’t show is the ongoing expense to ensure detection effectiveness as attackers change tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Doing this successfully for the long term requires a team of threat researchers and detection engineers.
Rapid7’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) team acts as a replacement for—or an extension of—an organization’s internal security team. They perform continuous monitoring of your networks and endpoints and ensure you’re one step ahead of attackers as they evolve.
With globally dispersed, state-of-the-art SOC facilities, equipped with the technology and security to enable our MDR analysts to monitor each customer’s environment around-the-clock, this “Follow-the-Sun” mode ..
