The SOC is Evolving

Choose the Path that’s Right for You

1. Self-managed SOC

   This model has an on-premises facility with in-house staff.

2. Distributed SOC

   Or a co-managed SOC, this model has semi-dedicated full-time or part-time team members who are hired in-house to work alongside a third-party managed security service provider (MSSP).

3. Managed SOC

   This model has MSSPs providing all SOC services to an enterprise. Managed detection and response (MDR) partners are another form of a managed SOC.

4. Command SOC

   This model provides threat intelligence insights and security expertise to other, typically dedicated, security operations centers. A command SOC is not involved in the actual security operations or processes, just the intelligence side.

5. Fusion Centre

   This model oversees any security-focused facility or initiative, including other types of SOCs or IT departments. Fusion centres are considered advanced SOCs and work with other enterprise teams, such as IT operations, DevOps and product development.

6. Multifunction SOC

   This model has a dedicated facility and in-house staff, but its roles and responsibilities extend to other critical areas of IT management, such as the network operations centres (NOCs).

7. Virtual SOC

   This model does not have a dedicated on-premises facility. A virtual SOC can be enterprise-run or fully managed. An enterprise-run SOC is generally staffed by in-house employees or a mix of in-house, on-demand and cloud-provided employees. A fully managed virtual SOC, also known as an outsourced SOC or SOC as a service (SOCaaS), has no in-house staff.

8. SOCaaS

   This subscription-based or software-based model outsources some or all SOC functions to a cloud provider.
