What does SOC as a service mean?

A quick answer to a common question about security operations.

SOC as a service is a model in which a third-party provider delivers security operations center (SOC) monitoring, investigation, and response, so you get 24/7 coverage without hiring an internal team. It is closely related to managed detection and response (MDR). With Exaforce MDR, customers also keep full access to the platform.
