Annual SOC Performance Report is out.
Devo’s annual SOC Performance Report was released Tuesday, surveying professionals about the state of the SOC. 77% of respondents believe that their SOC is “essential” or “very important” to their company’s cybersecurity strategy. The minority who believed their SOC fell short cited lack of visibility into the attack surface and difficulties hiring and retaining skilled employees as the root problems. Cyber risk compliance, threat detection, and incident response and remediation were the most prominent SOC services delivered currently. Threat hunting and cloud-native capabilities were the top two services SOCs planned to add within the year. For more on the state of the Security Operations Center, see CyberWire Pro.
