SOC as a Service Global Market Report 2025

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a team within a company responsible for researching, identifying, preventing, and responding to cyber threats. SOC as a service involves continuous monitoring of security, utilizing automation and data science to enhance detection and deliver high-confidence alerts. This service aims to alleviate the workload on in-house security teams.

Services provided by SOC as a service include vulnerability assessment, threat detection, and incident response. Vulnerability assessment entails a systematic review of security weaknesses in an information system, while threat detection involves analyzing the entire safety ecosystem to identify any hostile activity that could compromise the network. Components of SOC as a service include professional services and solutions, offered in fully managed and co-managed formats. Applications of SOC services span endpoint security, network security, cloud security, and other areas. Various industry verticals benefit from SOC as a service, including BFSI, IT and ITeS, manufacturing, telecommunications, government and the public sector, healthcare and life sciences, transportation and logistics, energy and utilities, as well as other sectors.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

This SOC as a service market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The soc as a service market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.65 billion in 2024 to $7.33 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. 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 $11.11 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. 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 forecast of 10.9% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This market may experience indirect strain as tariffs inflate the cost of security appliances and infrastructure hardware that underpin cloud-based Security Operations Centers (SOCs). The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

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.

In January 2022, SilverSky, a U. S. -based managed services provider for business email and network security, acquired Cygilant to enhance its cyber defenses and fortify its security posture. Cygilant, a U. S. -based company specializing in cybersecurity-as-a-service for mid-sized organizations, was acquired for an undisclosed amount.
