If you don’t currently have your own security operations center (SOC), you have two ways to get one: Build your own or use some managed collection of services. In past years the two paths were distinct, and it was relatively easy to make the call based on staffing costs and skills.
Now, the SOC-as-a-service (SOCaaS) industry has matured to the point now where the term is falling into disfavor as managed services vendors have become more integral to the practice. As cloud-based security tools have gotten better, data centers and applications have migrated there as well. Some of the services discussed here call themselves SOCaaS, while others use other managed services designations.
