MANAGED SOC · SOC-AS-A-SERVICE
24/7 Managed SOC, without building your own SOC
In-house L1–L3 analysts watch your logs, endpoints and cloud around the clock, hunt for threats and contain incidents in minutes.
What is a managed SOC?
A managed SOC, also called SOC-as-a-Service, is an outsourced security operations centre that monitors your IT environment 24/7, detects threats, investigates alerts and coordinates response. You get trained analysts, SIEM tooling and threat intelligence as a subscription, instead of hiring and running your own team.
Why build a SOC when you can switch one on?
Running your own SOC means hiring analysts for three shifts, licensing a SIEM and writing detection rules. That takes many months and a large budget. HostX gives you a working SOC in weeks, run by analysts who already know how Indian regulators expect incidents to be handled.
