SOC Investment Critical for Effective Security Posture
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
A case study highlights how organizations with well-resourced Security Operations Centers (SOCs) successfully mitigated a sophisticated phishing campaign that bypassed multiple leading email security tools. The SOC teams detected the attack after employees reported suspicious emails, demonstrating the importance of balanced investment across the alert lifecycle. The article emphasizes that detection tools alone are insufficient and that a robust SOC is essential for identifying nuanced threats and maximizing the value of detection investments. Enterprises often invest heavily in detection tools but underfund their SOCs, leading to overwhelmed analysts and missed threats. AI SOC platforms, such as Radiant Security, are emerging as a solution to automate alert triage and reduce false positives, enabling lean SOC teams to operate more effectively.
