An MSOC is an outsourced service that provides continuous monitoring and management of an organization's security operations. It includes proactive monitoring, threat detection, and response to security incidents.

24/7 security monitoring involves around-the-clock surveillance of IT systems and networks to detect suspicious activities, potential threats, or breaches at any time of the day or night.

This process involves identifying and analyzing security threats, such as malware, vulnerabilities, or unauthorized access, within an organization’s network to prevent potential attacks.

Incident response and management involves the steps taken to address and manage the aftermath of a security breach or cyberattack, including containment, eradication, recovery, and analysis.

SIEM systems collect and analyze log data from various security devices and applications to identify patterns, anomalies, and potential threats, providing real-time visibility into security events.

Threat intelligence and analysis involve gathering, analyzing, and sharing information about emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and tactics used by cybercriminals to better protect an organization’s systems.

Vulnerability management includes identifying, assessing, and remediating vulnerabilities in an organization’s IT infrastructure to reduce the risk of exploitation by attackers.

Compliance and reporting focus on ensuring that security measures meet regulatory and industry standards, and providing reports to document compliance with these requirements.

EDR tools monitor and respond to suspicious activities on endpoint devices (e.g., computers, mobile devices), providing real-time detection, investigation, and remediation of security threats.

Threat hunting involves actively searching for hidden threats or indicators of compromise within an organization’s network before they trigger an alert, focusing on proactively identifying potential risks.

Security automation and orchestration involve using tools and processes to automate security tasks and workflows, reducing manual intervention and speeding up response times during a security event.

Cloud security monitoring involves monitoring and securing cloud environments to detect and respond to threats such as data breaches, misconfigurations, and unauthorized access.

DLP technologies are designed to prevent sensitive data from being accessed, shared, or leaked without authorization, by monitoring and controlling data movement across networks and endpoints.
