During the round table, which concluded the SOC Forum 2022 conference, Artem Sychev, Head of the Center for Monitoring and Response to Computer Incidents at IB Reform JSC (Rostec State Corporation), called the demand for commercial SOC services a rush. This is facilitated by a number of factors. On the one hand, there is an increase in the intensity of threats and tightening of regulation by the state (Decree No. 250, changes in the legislation on the protection costa rica cell phone number list of personal data, increased liability for failure to comply with current regulations). As a result, potential customers need a working security system here and now. According to Artem Sychev, there are already queues of potential customers in many commercial SOCs, and demand has begun to exceed supply since May of this year.
nformation security incident monitoring and response center at Jet Infosystems JSC, also sees a growing demand for SOC services: "In our company, the demand for Jet CSIRT services has grown by approximately 30-40% compared to last year. The need for piloting SOC services has increased significantly: clients connect to monitoring centers not just for show, but for real tracking of cyber incidents and response to them. Therefore, they pay special attention to the quality of the services provided. If we talk about solutions, cloud schemes with Russian tools have become the most popular. But despite the high demand, competition in the SOC market is still high."
The head of the Krok cybersecurity monitoring center, Evgeny Lyapushkin, however, called these estimates overly optimistic.
According to Kirill Ilyin, Director of Information Security at Telematica, the existing number of players on the market is still sufficient, although the emergence of new ones would be useful. However, according to the general opinion of the discussion participants, the emergence of new players is still problematic due to the high entry threshold. As Kirill Ilyin emphasized, the maturity of a commercial SOC operator should be ahead of the market average. Moreover, as Alexey Vorontsov, Director of the Cyber Defense Services Department at Innostage, noted, the price of an error is very high. Any missed serious incident at the customer's will be fatal for the SOC operator.
The personnel problem is very acute. As Artem Sychev noted, many projects end before they even begin, simply because the operator cannot allocate the required number of employees to service a potential large customer.
