SOC Platform and SOC-as-a-Service
The Drawbacks of Traditional SOC solutions
Manual Rule Config & Alert Overload
Traditional SOCs rely on static, manually created rules that struggle to adapt to new threats. This generates excessive false positives, overwhelming analysts and causing critical threats to be overlooked.Lack of NetFlow Analysis
Without the ability to ingest and analyze netflows, traditional SOCs miss crucial network activity like lateral movement, abnormal traffic, or data exfiltration attempts, leaving early-stage threats undetected.Alert Isolation and Lack of Context
Alerts are often presented without the context to understand severity. Analysts must manually correlate data from multiple sources, delaying response & increasing chance of missing threats.Not easy to ingest logs from all Tools
Disconnected security tools create blind spots by failing to provide a unified view of the organization’s security posture. This fragmentation leads to inefficiencies and increases the risk of undetected threats.Lack of AI and Automation
The absence of AI-driven detection and automated processes forces analysts to handle repetitive tasks manually, slowing incident detection and response while increasing the risk of human error.High Dwell Times and Delayed Responses
Without behavioral analytics and integrated detection capabilities, traditional SOCs often allow attackers to remain undetected for weeks or months, increasing the severity of breaches.NxgSecure SOC and SOC-as-a-Service: 6 Core Differentiating Features and Capabilities

Why Network Flow Matters:
Traditional SIEM platforms primarily rely on log data, leaving a critical gap in visibility. Without cybersecurity risk analysis, security teams miss key indicators of cyber threats, allowing attackers to operate undetected.What Are Flows?
Network flows are metadata about network traffic, showing real-time communication patterns between devices, users, and systems. They capture essential details such as:- Source and destination IP addresses.
- Ports and protocols used.
- Volume and duration of data transfer
Why Are Flows Critical?
- Early Threat Detection: Flows help uncover lateral movement, command-and-control (C2) traffic, and data exfiltration, allowing security teams to detect and stop zero-day threats and advanced persistent threats (APTs) before they escalate.
- Contextual Awareness: Flow data complements traditional log analysis, providing a more comprehensive security picture that improves incident response and forensic investigations.
- Proactive Defense: Many threats go unnoticed until damage is done. Flow analysis helps in real-time threat hunting, allowing SOC teams to identify and mitigate attacks before they cause significant damage.
Comprehensive Telemetry Coverage
- Endpoints: Laptops, desktops, servers, and mobile devices.
- Emails: Protection against phishing, malware, and business email compromise.
- Identity Systems: Safeguarding user authentication and access management.
- Firewalls and Switches: Monitoring network boundaries and internal traffic.
- SaaS Applications: Securing collaboration tools, CRMs, and cloud-based workflows.
- Cloud Environments: Protecting VMs, containers, and workloads on platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
- On-Premises Infrastructure: Including legacy systems and hybrid setups.
