inSOC Builds A SOC With New Open-XDR Platform

Solution exposes the entire kill chain; combines all key security technologies under a single pane of glass to boost analyst productivity

inSOC provides a security operations center (SOC) as a service to managed security providers (MSPs). Based in Los Angeles, the company relies on Stellar Cyber’s robust Starlight SOC solution to underpin its offering. inSOC had initially used AlienVault to provide security information and event management (SIEM) functionality for its service, but the product’s complexity made it difficult for the company to maintain profitability.

“It took months to turn up a new client and tune the deployment until we were looking at real information rather than just noise,” says Eric Rockwell, CEO of inSOC. “Our goal was to find the right security partner that would let us turn up a new client in less than an hour.”

When the inSOC team investigated alternatives, however, it mostly saw more of the same. The key problem was that other solutions presented too many false positives, didn’t offer all the needed security functions, and required laborious tuning to work properly at identifying breaches. That’s when the team discovered Starlight.
