How Do You Select a Virtual Security Operations Center Solution for Your Business?
Summary
One of the determining factors in setting price rates for external SOC services is the EPS (Events Per Second) value, which characterizes the load on the SIEM system, as well as the labor costs of analysts. While most providers guarantee the availability of the service within the established SLA, they are not ready to bear unconditional financial responsibility for missing information security events. One of the options for resolving the issue of liability can be insurance of risks; despite increasing the contract cost, this allows both the client and the provider to cooperate on convenient terms.
