SOC as a service

A traditional SOC requires visibility into every part of your organization’s environment to quickly identify and address threats. But with systems and applications residing in a hybrid mix of on-premises and cloud, effective monitoring – let alone detection – of advanced threats can be difficult.

Our global SOC team of cybersecurity experts monitors data and assets wherever they reside within your organization. Whether your assets are stored in the cloud, on-premises, or both, comprehensive monitoring and review of threats means IT only needs to act when a real threat is identified.

SOC as a Service from AT&T Cybersecurity includes the following benefits:

Layered security monitoring

Our comprehensive approach includes asset discovery, vulnerability assessment, network intrusion detection (NIDS), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and SIEM event correlation and log management in one platform.

Cloud native

Built in the cloud, our security monitoring includes cloud-based infrastructure and applications, as well as on-premises environments.

Centralized security

Our managed SOC offering provides comprehensive security, including 24 x 7 threat monitoring, triaging and investigation of incidents, and the use of security orchestration and automation to respond to threats and remediate incidents using over 300 pre-built integrations.

Compliance-minded security

From controls to reporting to monitoring to log retention and more, each aspect of the people, process, and technology in our SOC helps support compliance standards such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA and GDPR.

Our SOC analysts are accessible 24x7 via phone, email, and Slack, and keeps your IT informed via alert notifications. Regularly scheduled analyst calls help provide that SOC services align with and meet your security program objectives.

Multiple intelligence sources

Threats are identified using our Open Threat Exchange (OTX) threat intelligence, providing unrivaled security visibility.

Early detection of emergent and evolving threats

Threat intelligence is delivered to the USM platform in the form of correlation rules and behavioral detections, often within the same day exploits and vulnerabilities are discovered.

Always up to date

Our threat analysis engine collects and processes threat observations, malware samples, and threat indicators daily.

Verified by threat experts

Global threats are validated by the AT&T Alien Labs security research team to spot the latest tools, techniques, and attack methods used in the wild, so you don’t have to.

With more access to resources than ever before, cybercriminals are rapidly scaling their operations, making every organization a potential target for a cyberattack – regardless of size, industry, or location. Achieving effective threat detection with a managed SOC solution is paramount, but it’s not enough on its own.

With AT&T Managed Threat Detection and Response, incident response is not a black box. We act as your copilot in response, providing visibility through the USM platform. While alerts are being validated and response plans are being drawn, your internal team can check for status updates within USM Anywhere and stay in the loop on what is being discovered, recommended, and achieved.

We work with your IT team to escalate and respond to security incidents according to your organization’s incident response plan. Dedicated analysts review, validate, and investigate potential threats in near-real time, minimizing false positives while maximizing insight into threat activity. Through the use of both guided and automated responses, we help provide for a swift and effective response to security incidents.

Quickly achieve effective threat detection and response Having a SOC in place is costly and time-consuming, requiring multiple security analysts, an expensive and complex technology stack, new processes and procedures, and expertise that many organizations do not have. AT&T Managed Threat Detection and Response is designed to protect your business 24x7 at a starting price less than what it would take you to hire a single security analyst – all delivered in a fraction of the time.

Implementing SOC as a Service from AT&T Cybersecurity takes less time and resource investment that would be required to build and maintain an internal SOC. With the goal of being fully operational in 30 days, we strive to make effective threat detection and response a rapid, cost-effective, and simplified reality for your organization.
