So what is SOC-as-a-Service?
(a different kind of SaaS ☺)
SOC-as-a-Service solutions (sometimes called a virtual SOC) provide new options that go well beyond traditional managed security services. For organizations that can’t justify building and staffing their own SOC, SOC-as-a-Service solutions allow them to rent these capabilities. Other organizations use SOC-as-a-Service solutions to offload routine monitoring so their own security teams can focus on key risks. Others use SOC-as-a-Service as a bridge while they transition to their own fully-managed SOC.
You’re not alone. Building vs. buying a SOC is a question growing organizations often face. SOC-as-a-Service models are providing new alternatives.

The speed of our onboarding with Expel was unbelievable. On the same day we signed the contract with Expel, we turned on the service and connected five of our security products.”
