SOC

Security service providers need to adopt modern strategies, including endpoint protection, detection, and response and AI-driven threat detection, WatchGuard says.

MSSPs are building repeatable, multi-tenant services tied to business outcomes, not standalone monitoring.

Autonomous pentesting turns a periodic audit into a continuous service, helping MSSPs build recurring revenue while validating real, exploitable risk.

The vendor's Sam SOC agent and Agentic Mesh shift's the focus of AI in SOCs from use and consumption to analyst productivity.

A unified, multi-tenant platform brings XDR, SIEM, NDR, and identity response into one workflow, aiming to cut analyst load, speed response times, and help service providers grow without adding headcount.

The program allows MSSPs to embed ransomware-specific prevention and recovery into managed services while retaining customer ownership and margins.

The three-year, $400 million agreement will help both organizations drive AI capabilities deeper into SOCs for both corporate security teams and MSSPs.
