24/7 Managed SOC-Worth It for Small Businesses? - 5 views

#1 greysoon on 04 Aug 25Hey all, I run IT at a 40-person software company, and we're debating if it's worth outsourcing to a 24/7 Managed SOC provider. We've had a few phishing incidents, but no major breaches. Is this overkill for a small team?

#2 kabutoren on 04 Aug 25Hey! For a 40-person company, outsourcing to a 24/7 Managed SOC can seem like a big step, but it really depends on your risk tolerance and resources. Even smaller teams face sophisticated threats like phishing, so having continuous monitoring helps catch incidents early. We looked into options and found that investing in services like IT System Monitoring gave us peace of mind without the cost of building an in-house SOC. It's not necessarily overkill if you want proactive defense-just balance it with your budget and risk profile.
