What Is A Managed SOC? Benefits And Variants

Why Use A Managed SOC? 

The IT infrastructure of a growing business also becomes larger, more complex, and more difficult to secure.  Each device produces many different activity and security logs which can provide critical security information, but need to be reviewed by specialists.

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) play a critical role in protecting organizations from cybersecurity attacks by centralizing expertise to service the entire organization.  

While there are several implementation models, organizations can often benefit the most from a fully outsourced and managed SOC.  To fully understand the benefits of a managed SOC, we must first understand the role of the SOC in managing cybersecurity detection and response.

What Is A SOC?

A Security Operations Center (SOC) provides a single point of coordination for security experts to analyze, prioritize, and further investigate security alerts and signs of malicious behavior.  The SOC can also provide a single point of coordination and management of other security initiatives.

SOCs can be implemented as a physical location, a virtual team, or acquired as an outsourced resource.  SOCs require specialized security tools and highly trained IT security professionals to be effective.

What Does A SOC Do?

Sometimes called an Information Security Operations Center, a SOC monitors the entire IT infrastructure of the organization full time – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and for all 365 days of the year.  SOC teams use tools, processes and their experience to:

Prioritize security alerts and anomalous behavior

Analyze alerts as potentially malicious (or false alarms)

Investigate malicious activity

Respond to cyberattacks directly or alert managed detection and response (MDR) teams 

SOCs collect data and event logs from across the entire IT environment, and can play a pivotal role in identifying, protecting against, and responding to attacks against the organization.  Typical threats can include, but certainly will not be limited to phishing, malware, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, ransomware, and unauthorized data exfiltration. 

A SOC’s primary purpose is to maintain, monitor, and constantly improve an organization’s cybersecurity technologies and capabilities.  Depending upon the needs of the organization, the SOC may also play a role in:

Anticipating threats (gathering cyber threat intelligence, etc.)

Managing the centralized log repository (security information and event management (SIEM) tools, security data lake, etc.)

Managing risk and compliance requirements

Patches and updates

Proactive threat hunting and monitoring for attacks that did not trigger alerts

Recovering lost or stolen data and determining compromised assets

Security strategy (architecture design, incident response strategy, etc.)

Tool and alert tuning (reduce false alarms, improve log value, etc.)

Vulnerability detection, assessment, and mitigation

The exact role of the SOC and where they might receive or handoff alerts for threat investigation depends upon the type of SOC deployed and other security and incident response infrastructure.  

Types Of SOCs

SOCs tend to mimic Network Operations Centers (NOCs) in structure, but instead of operational efficiency the SOC will focus on security alerts and will also incorporate alerts from servers, endpoints, applications, and cloud resources.  We go into more detail in Types of Security Operations Centers, but as a quick summary most organizations will implement one of five general types of SOCs:

Multifunction SOC / NOC

Dedicated SOC

Command SOC

Co-Managed SOC

SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS)

Multifunction SOC / NOC

Multifunctions SOC / NOC centers combine NOC and SOC functions to monitor network operations and security.  These centers can be less expensive to maintain because they share expertise, tools, and alert monitoring.

However, networking concerns often take priority, especially since network improvements are easier to quantify for return on investment (ROI), and security concerns can be easily marginalized.  This option is best for small enterprises and often does not survive the growth of the organization without a strong balance.

Dedicated SOC

Dedicated SOCs create a team of internal security experts working as one group either in a single location or virtually.  A Dedicated SOC creates great security visibility and centralized expertise for the organization.

However, Dedicated SOCs require at least 5 full time experts to achieve 24/7/365 coverage and expensive tools to manage high volumes of alerts with a smaller staff.  This SOC model is best for larger enterprises with few offices.

Command SOC

Command SOCs use a dedicated group of IT experts working as one group to oversee a network of smaller SOCs monitoring specific infrastructure or locations.  Centralized command and management of distributed expertise provides the most comprehensive option for in-house SOCs.

However, Command SOCs are incredibly resource intensive.  Ironically, Command SOCs can also lead to gaps in responsibility between branch SOCs and the Command SOC unless they are designed and coordinated very carefully.  

Only the largest organizations can afford in-house Command SOCs so they don’t tend to exist outside of governments, banks, cloud providers, and other huge enterprises.

Co-Managed SOC

Co-Managed SOCs use a combination of local on-site monitoring solutions and staff in addition to external resources.  This model provides enormous flexibility for tools and staffing and enables options to outsource either low-end tasks to low-cost resources (overseas offices or vendors) or high-end threat hunting to more experienced staff (consultants, MDR vendors, etc.).  

As with Command SOCs, poor implementation can lead to responsibility gaps and missed alerts so this method requires careful coordination and assignment of responsibility (and liability).  This option is best for enterprises dedicated to retaining on-site security talent or that wants to supplement existing resources as they grow.

The poll gathered data on several categories of persons who impact cybersecurity, including both internal and external players. It also looked at the degrees and types of cyber security that executives thought were worth investing in. A total of 234 APAC respondents were polled.

According to the research, more than three-quarters (77%) of respondents said that their organisation has encountered cybersecurity issues in the previous two years, with 87% of them classified as "serious." Some stated that the primary causes of cyber mishaps in their firm were a lack of sufficient threat detection tools (20%) and a scarcity of internal IT security professionals (24%).

"For years, businesses in APAC have faced a scarcity of local cybersecurity expertise. In fact, it is estimated that the area would require 2.1 million extra security personnel by 2022 to fulfil demand. Clearly, the findings of our latest study placed a monetary value on how this gap might harm company security. "For our part, we've been proactively fostering mutual partnerships with universities, governments, and non-governmental organisations here with the shared goal of building a country's cybersecurity capability as well as helping develop APAC's local cybersecurity talent pool," says Adrian Hia, Kaspersky's Managing Director for Asia Pacific.

Respondents from the region said that a range of solutions would be acceptable to solve cybersecurity deficiencies, with 32% saying that additional external professionals should be brought in.

It also indicates that the company's investment plans are on track with its forecasts. One-quarter of organisations (34%) want to invest in third-party professional services, and 34% intend to outsource their cybersecurity to MSP/MSSP (Managed Service Providers/Managed Security Service Providers). Critical infrastructure, energy, and oil and gas firms are the most likely to invest in third-party services shortly.

At the same time, several firms in the area want to invest in cybersecurity process automation. More than half of the organisations here (51%) have clear plans to adopt software that automatically manages their cybersecurity in the next 12 months, while 15% are debating the matter.

To deal with a lack of tools or IT Security personnel in-house, Kaspersky advises:

Make benefit of the knowledge provided by managed security services. For example, Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response improves an organization's overall security by monitoring telemetry from the company's IT network 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and assists with the development of in-house processes and best practices while adhering to incident response guidelines provided by Kaspersky experts. Furthermore, the AI assistant in MDR processes around half of all security alarms automatically to offer optimal protection.

Implementing Kaspersky Professional Services helps a struggling IT department optimise its workload. Kaspersky professionals examine the health of your present IT security before rapidly and correctly deploying and configuring Kaspersky software to ensure trouble-free continued functioning. Furthermore, Kaspersky Premium Support accelerates and improves the performance of any Kaspersky-based IT security architecture.

For SMBs who do not have the means to acquire cybersecurity solutions and engage dedicated IT security specialists, one IT administrator (even if part-time or outsourced) is sufficient to operate Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud via a console with several automated scripts.

Invest in cybersecurity training to keep your present IT security professionals' skills up to date and ready to face anything the cyber threat landscape throws at your organisation. Kaspersky Cybersecurity for IT Online course assists ordinary IT administrators in developing simple yet effective IT security best practices and incident response scenarios. Kaspersky Expert Training provides your security staff with the most up-to-date information and skills for managing and mitigating risks, safeguarding your company against even the most complex assaults.

5 reasons your business needs MDR solution for proactive cybersecurity and compliance

In today’s increasingly digitized world, cybersecurity has become a critical concern for businesses of all sizes. However, many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs/SMEs) mistakenly believe that they are too small to be targeted by cybercriminals, and as a result, they may not invest in robust cybersecurity measures. This can leave them exposed to a wide range of cyber threats, including malware, ransomware, phishing attacks, and more.

It is no longer enough to rely solely on traditional security measures such as firewalls and antivirus software to protect businesses from cyber-attacks. This is where Managed Detection and Response (MDR) comes in, providing a proactive approach to cybersecurity that combines continuous monitoring, advanced threat detection, rapid incident response, and investigation capabilities.

MDR services are designed to provide visibility into an organization’s security posture, detect suspicious activity and potential threats, and respond appropriately. The services use a combination of advanced analytics, automated threat intelligence, and experienced security professionals to detect and respond to malicious activity. This approach helps organizations detect incidents more quickly and respond more effectively.

Organizations that use MDR benefit from improved threat detection, response times, and incident resolution. It can help organizations detect and respond to threats more accurately, reducing the risk of losing data such as credit card numbers, bank account details, and personal identification information (PII). Additionally, it can provide organizations with valuable insights into their security posture, helping them make informed decisions about their security strategies.

Here are some reasons why businesses need Managed Detection and Response Solution:

1. Real-time Detection and Response

With traditional security measures, organizations typically rely on security teams to manually review logs and alerts to identify potential threats. However, many SMBs/SMEs typically have limited IT resources and may not have dedicated security teams to monitor their infrastructure environment round the clock. MDR solutions provide 24/7 monitoring of an organization’s systems, networks, and applications. These solutions come with advanced threat intelligence and analytics to identify potential threats. When a threat is detected, MDR solutions can immediately notify security teams and mitigate it before it causes considerable damage.

2. Advanced Threat Hunting

MDR providers use advanced techniques to identify potential threats that may evade traditional security measures. Proactive threat hunting includes analyzing network traffic and behavior to identify anomalies that may indicate malicious activity. MDR leverages machine learning algorithms to detect patterns in data that may be indicative of a cyber-attack. This approach enables them to proactively identify potential threats and respond quickly to mitigate them. By continually learning from new data, these algorithms can improve their accuracy over time, allowing organizations to stay ahead of emerging threats.

3. Rapid Incident Response

MDR security companies have dedicated teams of experts who are trained to respond quickly and effectively to security incidents. These teams work around the clock, monitoring systems for any signs of suspicious activity and responding immediately when a threat is detected. MDR teams use various techniques to identify the threat’s source, including analyzing log files, network traffic, and system activity. Once the source of the attack has been identified, they work closely with organizations to implement remediation measures, ensuring that systems are fully restored and that any vulnerabilities that may have been exploited are patched.

4. Compliance

Compliance is a critical aspect of modern business operations, particularly in industries that deal with sensitive customer information such as credit card numbers, bank account details, or PII. However, it can be challenging for SMEs/SMBs organizations with limited resources to do it in-house. MDR providers are well-versed in the compliance requirements of various regulations and can offer tailored solutions that meet specific industry standards. By leveraging advanced threat detection and incident response capabilities, MDR solutions can help businesses maintain compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and others.

5. Cost-effective

MDR solutions are cost-effective compared to traditional security measures that require significant investment in hardware and personnel. MDR service providers have a team of cybersecurity experts who are skilled in identifying and mitigating potential security threats. This eliminates the need for organizations to invest in hiring and training a full-time security team. They also offer flexible pricing options, allowing businesses to pay only for the services they need.

In conclusion, organizations of all sizes have an obligation to safeguard their data, and Managed Detection and Response provides a comprehensive solution that goes far beyond traditional antivirus software. With MDR, organizations can detect and respond to threats quickly, minimizing the risk of a data breach or the loss of sensitive information. It also allows businesses to offload their cybersecurity responsibilities to an experienced MDR provider, freeing up their internal teams to focus on other important tasks. Ultimately, MDR is a critical tool for helping companies maintain a secure IT environment and protect their data.
