Expert Panel: Mastering SOC Economics - Palo Alto Networks

Security leaders know SOCs are expensive, but few know exactly where the costs are going.

It’s not just the license costs. It’s the "integration tax" of maintaining data pipelines. It’s the hundreds of hours spent separating signal from noise and performing repetitive manual tasks. It’s the high cost of analyst burnout.

It is time to look at the hard numbers.
