What is SOC as a Service (SOCaaS)?

SOC as a Service (SOCaaS) is a managed security service that provides organizations with a fully outsourced Security Operations Center. Svalbard Security's SOCaaS in Vancouver offers 24/7 security monitoring, threat detection, and incident response with a 4.6-minute average response time. It's typically 60-70% less expensive than building an in-house SOC.

What is the difference between MDR, XDR, and SOCaaS?

MDR (Managed Detection & Response) focuses on threat detection and response with human analysts. XDR (Extended Detection & Response) provides unified threat detection across all attack vectors (endpoints, network, cloud, email). SOCaaS provides a complete managed Security Operations Center. Svalbard Security offers all three services from our Vancouver-based SOC, and we help clients choose the right solution for their needs.

What is Extended Detection & Response (XDR)?

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) represents the evolution of threat detection, moving beyond siloed security tools to provide unified visibility across your entire attack surface. Svalbard Security's XDR platform collects and correlates data from endpoints, networks, cloud workloads, email, and identity systems to detect advanced threats.

Unlike traditional EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) that focuses only on endpoints, our XDR solution provides comprehensive protection across all attack vectors—critical for defending against today's multi-stage cyberattacks.

XDR vs EDR vs MDR: What's the Difference?

Understanding the differences between XDR, EDR, and MDR is crucial for choosing the right security solution for your Vancouver business:

EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response): Focuses solely on endpoint security—laptops, desktops, servers.
MDR (Managed Detection & Response): Adds human analysts to manage your security tools and respond to threats.
XDR (Extended Detection & Response): Unifies detection across all security layers with automated correlation and response.

Unified Threat Visibility

Endpoint Protection: Advanced EDR capabilities with behavioral analysis.
Network Detection: Deep packet inspection and network traffic analysis.
Cloud Security: AWS, Azure, GCP workload protection and CASB integration.
Email Security: Phishing detection and email threat protection.

Automated Threat Correlation

Cross-Layer Analysis: Correlate events across all security tools automatically.
Attack Chain Visualization: See the full attack path from initial access to impact.
Reduced Alert Fatigue: 90% fewer false positives through intelligent correlation.

Automated Response

Automatic Containment: Isolate compromised endpoints in seconds.
Playbook Automation: Pre-defined response actions for common threats.
Integration Ready: Connect with SOAR, ticketing, and SIEM systems.

Why XDR for Vancouver Businesses?

Modern cyberattacks don't respect security tool boundaries. Ransomware groups use phishing emails to gain access, move laterally through networks, escalate privileges, and exfiltrate data before encryption. Traditional point solutions miss these attack chains because they only see one piece of the puzzle.

Svalbard Security's XDR platform provides the unified visibility and automated response capabilities needed to detect and stop sophisticated attacks before they cause damage. Our Vancouver-based security team provides 24/7 monitoring and expert analysis.

XDR Integration & Deployment

Our XDR solution integrates with your existing security stack, including Microsoft 365, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Palo Alto, Fortinet, and other leading security vendors. We can typically deploy and provide full coverage within 2-4 weeks.
