Building a SOC means setting up an in-house security operations center: the analysts, processes and technology, such as SIEM, EDR and SOAR, needed to monitor, detect and respond to threats around the clock. It requires hiring and retaining enough people to cover every shift, licensing and tuning tools, and writing playbooks, which is why many companies weigh it against contracting SOC as a Service.
