Episode 84 - Changing the Way You Looked at Managed Security Operations

Aaron Bregg Season 5 Episode 9

In a recent episode Matt Nelson from Guidepoint was talking about how he is seeing a trend with medium-sized companies moving away from the idea of building out or building up a security team. There were several reasons including budget constraints and an experienced talent shortage. So I reached out to Bill Bernard about having a deeper discussion on how revisiting the topic of using a #managedsecurityoperations company.

Talking Points:

  • What is Managed Detection and Response?
  • Because of budget and resource constraints, more companies are starting to move away from the idea of building up their internal solution. What are you (the guests) seeing lately?
  •  Digital Transformation seems to be moving out from it's 1st phase since Covid and becoming more mature. Because of this more and more companies are moving to 3rd party SaaS solutions for things that were traditionally done 'In House'. Why is it so important to revisit how you handle #SIEM and #SOAR APIs when it comes to a managed #SOC?
