SOC Around the Clock: World Tour Survey Findings

To find relief, SOC teams need to break down data silos, better prioritize threats and incidents, catch threats they’re currently missing, and cut out the noise of false positives. Integrating toolsets and telemetry into a single platform with a unified view of the full environment is the goal, with AI-assisted correlation, triage, and analysis to automate and speed up time to action.

Looking to the next generation

When asked what cybersecurity technologies they were most interested in exploring over the coming year, SOC respondents’ top picks were AI and zero-trust architectures. Identity management rounded out the top three with privileged access and identity management (PAM and PIM) mentioned specifically.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) and network detection and response (NDR) can be combined via the native XDR or integrated next-generation security information and event management (NGSIEM) strategy to meet SOC needs. SOC teams can consolidate with the Trend Vision One™ platform to achieve the best possible integration and manageability.

Teaming up to mitigate risks

Because threats never sleep, SOC teams need to keep an eye on the enterprise environment 24/7. While 27% do this with rotating schedules and another 25% maintain on-call systems, the largest percentage of respondents (33%) rely on managed detection and response (MDR) or managed security service provider (MSSP) offerings. For small companies, MDR and MSSP services can fill critical capacity gaps. In larger organizations, they provide added expert support, follow-the-sun coverage, and peace of mind.

The paths to managing cyber risk are converging

CISOs and security teams battle with resource constraints. IT operations seek greater integration. Cloud security engineers strive for expanded visibility. All of these needs can be addressed with the AI-powered automation, contextualized data, and integration of a platform-based approach to cybersecurity.

Consolidating security within a single platform that can integrate third-party toolsets gives security leaders what they need with more flexibility, greater efficiency, minimized sprawl, and reduced total cost of ownership.

This approach meets security teams where they’re at and respects the investments organizations have made to date, while transforming working models to drive strong user experience and security outcomes. Rich telemetry is more readily available, empowering teams to make more proactive and effective risk remediation decisions.

Trend Vision One delivers the benefits of a platform approach with comprehensive protection, prevention, detection, and response capabilities—all powered by AI and leading threat research and intelligence. It supports diverse hybrid IT environments, automates and orchestrates workflows, and delivers expert cybersecurity services to simplify and converge security operations holistically—all while measuring and communicating overall risk management and performance to stakeholders.
