This SOC as a Service report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The SOC as a service market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.33 billion in 2024 to $4.68 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased cybersecurity threats, lack of in-house security expertise, compliance and regulatory requirements, proliferation of advanced persistent threats (APTS), 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 $7.89 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing sophistication of cyber-attacks, integration of artificial intelligence in soc services, expansion of cloud-based security solutions, increased adoption by small and medium enterprises (SMs), emphasis on threat intelligence and information sharing. Major trends in the forecast period include automation and orchestration in soc operations, continuous monitoring and incident response, zero trust security models, managed detection and response (MDR) services, focus on user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) in soc.
The significant rise in the complexity of cyber-attacks and security breaches is anticipated to drive the growth of the SOC as a Service market in the future. Cyber-attacks are attempts to gain unauthorized access to a computer or system. SOC-as-a-Service aids in preventing these attacks by enabling faster detection and remediation, utilizing automation and data science to enhance detection speed and provide high-confidence alerts. For instance, in January 2023, new data from Checkpoint, an Israel-based provider of IT security software and hardware products, revealed that global cyberattacks surged by 38% in 2022 compared to 2021. Consequently, the drastic increase in the sophistication of cyber-attacks and security breaches is fueling the growth of 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. SecureOps, an IT service management company based in the Philippines, launched a new Security Operation Center in December 2022. This facility is dedicated to providing premier cybersecurity protection and services, addressing the escalating cyber threats in Asia and offering a comprehensive range of cybersecurity solutions. The initiative is driven by factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and increased digital reliance.
