What Is SOCaaS?

SOCaaS is a security service that delivers real-time monitoring, detection and analysis of cyber threats. In addition to the A1 SOCaaS, several other SOCaaS offerings are now available, including:

  • Arctic Wolf Networks: Provides CyberSOC, which blends human expertise and machine intelligence to drive threat prevention, detection and response.
