To build or to buy, that is the question

What does it cost to run an in-house Security Operations Centre (SOC)?

With so many security products and solutions on the market and regulatory considerations to satisfy, many organisations consider may building their own in-house Security Operations Centre (SOC).

However, security leaders often underestimate the cost of building and running an internal SOC. You need to consider the up-front cost and ongoing investment involved as you weigh your options.

To help with this, eSentire have created a SOC Pricing Cost Calculator to provide a quick snapshot of the tools, personnel, operating expenses and overall costs you should consider when deciding whether it makes sense to build an in-house SOC.

Calculate the cost of your SOC

This calculator enables you to compare the costs of security tools, personnel and operational costs compared to a managed tool.
