Should you build your own SOC in-house or partner with an MDR provider to outsource SOC capabilities?
Solving the Cybersecurity Skills Gap with 24/7 Expertise
We apply a six-point methodology to how we develop and retain skilled cybersecurity professionals. This process has been refined over the last decade as we have expanded globally, and has resulted in a distinct competitive advantage given the well-documented global skills shortage.
Establishing a SOC Talent Pipeline
Recruiting top talent for our SOC Cyber Analyst positions begins with the educational relationships we formed in the Waterloo and Cork regions. That’s why we encourage elementary, high school, and college students to pursue careers in cybersecurity. Our partnerships with local colleges, universities, municipal boards and not-for-profit organizations help us maintain a robust pipeline of talent for our expanding security operations. Our leadership team is actively engaged with many educational and advisory boards, providing recommendations on information security program training.
How We Reduce Turnover and Prevent Burnout to Provide the Best SOC-as-a-Service

Accelerating the Efficiency of our SOC-as-a-Service

Plus, every positive SOC Investigation fuels the Security Network Effects across our global customer base. We add over 200 malicious IOCs and IPs to our global block list daily to continue to improve customer defenses.
