1. Cost-Effective

Maintaining an in-house SOC that provides 24/7 security coverage is expensive. It requires a significant investment in hardware, software, and human resources. Additionally, there are ongoing costs associated with training, maintenance, and upgrades.

Even if you have already your own SOC operating in office hours, the additional costs associated with providing 24/7 coverage are substantial.

By using an outsourced remote “follow the sun” SOC, you can reduce your costs significantly. Outsourcing eliminates the need for capital expenditure and reduces ongoing operating costs. With an outsourced SOC, you pay a fixed monthly fee for the services you need, without worrying about additional costs.

2. Access to Expertise

Outsourcing a “follow the sun” SOC provides you with access to a team of cybersecurity experts with specialized skills and knowledge. Bluedog has experience working with multiple clients across various industries, which means we have a broader perspective on the latest threats and can bring best practices to the table. Additionally, we invest in ongoing training and development of our staff to ensure they stay up-to-date with the latest threats and technologies.

3. Scalability

One of the significant advantages of an outsourced remote “follow the sun” SOC is scalability. You can scale up or down your cybersecurity resources quickly and efficiently to meet your changing needs. For example, if you are expanding into a new market, we can quickly add new resources to the SOC to provide coverage in that region. Conversely, if you need to reduce your cybersecurity resources, you can scale back without having to worry about the cost and complexity of downsizing an in-house SOC.

4. Flexibility and Customization:

One significant advantage of a remote outsourced dedicated SOC is the flexibility it offers. Bluedog allows you to continue using your preferred monitoring platforms, you can maintain control over your existing tools, processes, and workflows. Unlike Managed SOC providers who dictate the platforms and tools you have to use.

This customization ensures a seamless integration of our SOC services into your existing infrastructure, resulting in minimal disruption to your operations. With the ability to tailor the solution to your specific needs, you can optimize your security operations and efficiently respond to evolving threats.
