THE NEXT GENERATION OF SOC: FUTURE -READY SOLUTION
The decentralisation of
organisations and the software
they use has expanded the attack
surface to a point where most
SOC struggle to keep up with the
volume of data required to monitor
and protect these systems.
and ownership of larger, more
signi昀椀cant volumes of data and,
where this isn’t possible, having
to surrender certain application
controls and oversight to external
providers, notably hyperscale
cloud providers.
A decade ago, the SOC collected,
stored and processed alerts in
a single location. However, since
then, organisations have changed
how they purchase software,
IT services, and hardware. This
decentralisation has resulted
in individual business units and
functions having to take control
My organisation, Adarma, a leading
managed SOC provider, recently
released a report titled ‘How to
Design a Future-Ready SOC’, in
which we propose a new reference
architecture for remaining
adaptable and agile in the face of
ongoing change. This change could
pertain to the threat landscape,
technology environment, or the
circumstances of the business
the SOC endeavours to protect.
The concept of a future-ready
SOC aims to overcome many
of the issues that traditional
SOCs currently face. For many
organisations, the current manual
process and resource-heavy
approach along with monitoring
multiple vendor technologies has
resulted in observability gaps, tool
overlap, exploding volumes of data,
and di昀케culty hiring and retaining
skilled sta昀昀.
