Traditional versus modern SOC operations
The old-school way of running a SOC is no longer cutting it. It’s expensive, inefficient, and simply can’t keep pace with the evolving threat landscape.

Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 laid the foundation for our discussion on XDR and SOC platforms, highlighting their significance in fortifying an organization’s security defenses.
The table below (Table 4.1) outlines the key distinctions between traditional and modern SOC operations, demonstrating the compelling reasons for organizations to embrace the modern approach.
