JAKARTA - A recent Kaspersky study revealed that all companies around the world who do not yet have a Security Operations Center (SOC), say they will build one in the near future.
The survey was conducted on companies in 16 countries with 50% of companies intending to build SOCs primarily to strengthen their cyber security posture, and 45% motivated by the need to address increasingly sophisticated and dangerous threats.
As for Indonesia itself, more than half (58%) of respondents here believe that building SOC can increase their cyber security level.
Secondary drivers include budget optimization, the need for faster detection and response, and the expansion of software, endpoints, and user devices. This was mentioned by 41% of organizations.
In addition, 40% want better protection for confidential information, 39% aim to meet regulatory requirements, and a third (33%) expect SOC capabilities to provide a competitive advantage.
Larger companies tend to mention each of these reasons more frequently, reflecting the broader operational and regulatory pressures they face.
But interestingly, even though SOC uses advanced technology, the choices made by the organization show that human analysts are very important.
"Well-defined workflows and continuous improvement are critical to ensure that human analysts can focus on important tasks, making SOC a proactive and adaptive component of their cybersecurity strategy," said Roman Nazarov, Head of SOC Consulting at Kaspersky.
According to him, to successfully build a SOC, companies must prioritize not only the right mix of technology but also careful process planning, clear goal setting, and effective resource allocation.
