Problems with CSOC

 

Cost to comply

The first problem in building up the Cyber Security Operations Center is a huge budget and it will even cost more for hiring employees to operate CSOC on a daily basis. The companies have to comply with cost by spending at least $500,000 for setting up CSOC which is not necessary these days because these companies can hire third-party vendors to maintain and secure their network and save the sensitive data such as confidential documents or reports.

 

The cost to service CSOC

The payment is the biggest problem in running CSOC because usually, a company has to hire 4 employees on average, and these employees should be qualified to maintain and control the security systems. More experience means more salary like a company has to hire 2 hacker professionals at $80,000 each which is equivalent to $160,000 then at least one defensive sector engineer at $80,000 and one team leader at $80,000 to manage and control everything in the center. The minimum cost to service is around $320,000 which is quite high for small business companies.
