The soc as a service market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.05 billion in 2023 to $4.43 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including an increase in cybersecurity threats, a lack of in-house security expertise, compliance and regulatory requirements, the proliferation of advanced persistent threats (APTs), and a rising volume of security alerts.

The soc as a service market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.83 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the growing sophistication of cyber attacks, the integration of artificial intelligence in SOC services, the expansion of cloud-based security solutions, increased adoption by small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and an emphasis on threat intelligence and information sharing. Major trends expected in the forecast period include automation and orchestration in SOC operations, continuous monitoring and incident response, the adoption of zero trust security models, the provision of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services, and a focus on User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) in SOC.

The substantial increase in the sophistication of cyber-attacks and security breaches is poised to drive the growth of the SOC-as-a-service market in the future. Cyber-attacks involve unauthorized attempts to access computers or systems, and SOC-as-a-service plays a crucial role in preventing such attacks by ensuring rapid detection and remediation. Leveraging automation and data science, SOC-as-a-service enhances detection speed and delivers alerts with high confidence. Notably, Checkpoint reported a 38% global increase in cyber-attacks in 2022 compared to 2021. Additionally, the ESET Threat Report T2 2021 highlighted a 7.3% rise in email-based attacks, particularly phishing campaigns designed to deceive individuals and steal financial resources. Hence, the significant growth in the sophistication of cyber threats and security breaches is a key driver for the SOC-as-a-service market.

The transition toward remote work is expected to fuel the growth of the security operations center (SOC) market. Remote work, where employees carry out their tasks from locations outside the traditional office, relies on digital tools to maintain connectivity. In this context, a Security Operations Center ensures the protection of digital assets and sensitive data by monitoring and responding to security threats from diverse locations. A survey conducted in 2022 by FlexJobs' Career Pulse indicated a strong preference for full-time remote work among 65% of respondents, while 32% expressed a desire for a hybrid work arrangement. This high percentage, totaling 97%, reflects a widespread desire for remote work options. Consequently, the shift towards remote work is a significant driver for the security operations center market.

The notable trend is the focus on product innovations by major market players to enhance cybersecurity and combat emerging threats. For example, Proficio, a cybersecurity service provider based in India, introduced a detection and response service in April 2022. This service aims to address identity-based threats by combining advanced technology with human-led investigations, enhancing visibility, expediting responses, and minimizing ransomware.

Leading companies in the SOC-as-a-service market are establishing innovative centers, such as Security Operation Centers (SOCs), to expand the reach of their global cybersecurity services.
