Half of Global Firms Plan SOCs, Human Expertise Remains Central

Half of global companies plan to establish Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to strengthen cybersecurity, with human expertise remaining central despite growing automation, according to a new Kaspersky study.

The research, involving senior IT security leaders from companies with over 500 employees across 16 countries, found that 50% aim to improve overall security posture, while 45% are responding to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

Human Expertise

Faster detection and response, budget optimisation, and expanding digital environments were cited by 41% of organisations. Continuous 24/7 monitoring emerged as the top SOC requirement, selected by 54% of respondents, underscoring the need for proactive, real-time defence.

While advanced tools such as Threat Intelligence Platforms, Endpoint Detection and Response, and SIEM systems are widely adopted, they rely heavily on skilled analysts for interpretation and decision-making.

Larger enterprises deploy more technologies per SOC, reflecting higher regulatory and operational demands. Kaspersky stressed that successful SOCs require balanced investment in technology, processes, and people.
