Top SOC as a Service Companies

The SOC as a service industry remains highly competitive, with both global cybersecurity giants and niche managed service providers actively strengthening their offerings through strategic innovations, partnerships, and acquisitions. IBM continued to lead with its integrated QRadar platform and AI-enhanced threat detection, while AT&T Cybersecurity focused on enhancing its AlienVault USM platform by embedding deeper threat intelligence for SMEs and public sector clients.

Startups in the SOC as a service market are playing a pivotal role in reshaping how security operations are delivered, offering agile, cloud-native, and AI-driven solutions that address the limitations of traditional SOC models. These emerging players are challenging legacy providers by focusing on automated threat detection, real-time response, and affordability for SMEs.
