Cyber threats in Lebanon are growing, while most organizations lack the time or resources to build and operate a full 24/7 Security Operations Center. SOC-as-a-Service provides you with enterprise-grade security operations without the overhead, delivering continuous monitoring, investigation, and response through a dedicated team and proven processes.
To be effective today, it must be modern, integrated, and delivered as MDR (Managed Detection & Response), not just alerting.
1. What a Modern SOC Looks Like
A modern SOC goes beyond “log monitoring.” It combines:
- Full visibility across endpoints, identity, email, network, and cloud
- High-quality detections tuned to your environment (less noise, more signal)
- Playbooks + automation to reduce response time and ensure consistency
The result: faster detection, faster containment, and reduced business impact.
2. Why ITDR and CDR Are Now Must-Haves
Attackers increasingly target identities and cloud platforms because that’s where access and data live.
That’s why a modern Security Operation Center (SOC) must include:
– ITDR (Identity Threat Detection & Response)
Detects and responds to identity-based attacks such as:
- compromised accounts and risky sign-ins
- privilege abuse and lateral movement
- MFA bypass attempts and suspicious session activity
– CDR (Cloud Detection & Response)
Monitors and responds to threats in cloud and SaaS environments, such as:
- suspicious admin actions and configuration changes
- abnormal access to storage and sensitive data
- risky API activity, tokens, and cloud workload alerts
With ITDR + CDR, you’re not only watching devices, you’re also protecting who has access and where your data runs.

3. Why You Must Delegate Authority
A SOC cannot protect your environment if it can only “notify and wait.” Speed is critical during real incidents.
That’s why we agree upfront on delegated authority with clear guardrails, so our team can take approved actions such as:
- isolating compromised endpoints (EDR)
- disabling or containing compromised accounts (ITDR)
- blocking malicious domains/IPs
- quarantining malicious emails (where supported)
- containing suspicious cloud activity (CDR)
All actions are documented, controlled, and based on severity and agreed-upon playbooks.

4. Liability and Shared Responsibility (Done the Right Way)
No security provider can promise “you will never be breached.” What matters is how fast you detect and respond.
We reduce risk and impact through:
- early detection and validation
- rapid containment to stop the spread
- clear incident timelines and reporting
- continuous improvement after every event
Responsibilities are defined clearly through scope, SLAs, and response playbooks, so everyone knows what’s covered—and how decisions are made during incidents.
5. Better Security Comes From Integration, Not a Single Tool
Security maturity doesn’t come from one product. It comes from combining the right layers and making them work together.
A strong SOC as a Service blends:
- EDR/XDR for endpoint visibility and containment
- SIEM for correlation and centralized monitoring
- SOAR/playbooks for consistent, measurable response
- ITDR + CDR to cover identity and cloud threats
Vendor selection should be based on outcomes: onboarding quality, tuning capability, response maturity, and reporting clarity—not marketing slides.
