Challenges Facing SOC Personnel
The Cost-Benefit of SOC Automation
Automating physical security operations in the SOC can significantly improve the work experience for your personnel, as well as overall security outcomes. It can also contribute to the bottom line.
With average salaries ranging from $50/hour for a SOC Analyst to $65/hour for a Security Manager, personnel costs are the most costly portion of the security investment. Further, even with skilled operators, training time is needed to bring new hires up to speed on the correct response for each situation. There is also a time cost associated with defining and mandating these responses at the organizational level.
Finally, there is a tremendous operating cost associated with running and maintaining SOC tools and technology. Unexpected downtimes, technical team costs, emergency repairs, tracking repair work orders across different system integrators, and tracking repair SLAs are all manual tasks that are extremely time-consuming. Through improved integration, optimization, and automation, SOCs can save both time and money.
