SOC Without the Overhead: Smarter Security for State and Local Agencies



Security operations centers (SOCs) aren’t just for large, well-funded agencies anymore. In today’s environment — where ransomware attacks are rising, budgets are tight and staffing is stretched thin — the SOC-in-a-box concept can help government organizations of all sizes centralize visibility, scale incident response and make the most out of critical resources.

 

This webinar will explain what state and local governments need from their cybersecurity operations today and how to move toward a model that reduces alert fatigue, automates workflows and supports measurable risk reduction through analytics and reporting.

 

What you will learn:

  • Why legacy detection tools fall short in high-stakes environments and how to gain insight across your attack surface
  • What "SOC-in-a-box" really means and how it helps short-staffed teams
  • How agencies are closing visibility gaps and reducing investigation time — without building a full-blown SOC from scratch
  • Why extended detection and response (XDR) is critical for monitoring, threat intelligence and guided remediation
