IDC PlanScape: DevSecOps/Outsourced SOC Integration

This IDC PlanScape offers guidance on how organizations can integrate outsourced security services seamlessly with internal DevSecOps tools, platforms, and teams. Specifically, it details the challenges that commonly arise for customers of outsourced security services providers, as well as actionable tactics and strategies for mitigating those difficulties as part of a holistic DevSecOps strategy that draws on internal and external cybersecurity resources to full effect."Outsourcing the SOC and other security functions can solve many operational challenges in areas such as cybersecurity hiring and scalability," says Christopher Tozzi, adjunct research advisor with IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP). "But it also creates new difficulties, especially when it comes to connecting external security teams, tools, and dataflows to a company's internal DevSecOps assets."
