Gartner® SOC Model Report

Building an effective security operations center can be a difficult task for even the most sophisticated security teams. Security professionals must be able to answer the questions of what type of SOC model is best for your organization, which roles to fill internally vs. externally within that model, and how to keep vendors and staff working together at peak efficiency. Download your copy of the Gartner® SOC Model Guide to help answer those and more.

• Hybrid, Internal, or External
  Possibly the most important decision your organization can make is determining which model of SOC works for you. For some, the resources are available for a fully internal team, others must contract out completely while still others take a hybrid approach.

• Which Roles for Which Team Members
  Once you’ve determined your model, building out the right team and/or external partners is key. It is critical to fully understand which roles should be kept in-house and which are better trusted to external partners.

• How to Keep Everyone Doing their Best Work
  It is mission critical that all members of the SOC, be they internal or external, are operating at max efficiency. Knowing how to prevent internal and external team members from getting tunnel vision and missing  big picture is an important part of building the best SOC you can.
