The soc as a service market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.33 billion in 2025 to $8.14 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising frequency of cyberattacks, shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, increasing complexity of enterprise it environments, expansion of cloud adoption, growing regulatory compliance requirements.
The soc as a service market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.32 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of zero trust security models, rising investments in cloud security services, expansion of automation in security operations, growing demand for scalable security services, increasing reliance on managed detection and response solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of managed security monitoring services, rising use of ai-driven threat detection, growing demand for 24/7 incident response capabilities, expansion of cloud-native soc platforms, enhanced focus on security automation.
The rapid increase in sophisticated cyber-attacks and security breaches is expected to drive the growth of the SOC as a service market. Cyber-attacks involve attempts to gain unauthorized access to computers or systems. SOC-as-a-service helps prevent such attacks by enabling faster detection and remediation, using automation and data science to deliver high-confidence alerts efficiently. For example, in April 2025, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a US-based government agency, reported that in 2024, cybercrime complaints rose to 859,532, with financial losses exceeding $16.6 billion, reflecting a 33% increase compared to 2023. Therefore, the growing sophistication of cyber-attacks and security breaches is boosting the SOC-as-a-service market.
Major companies in the SOC as a service market are focusing on advanced technologies, such as cloud-based security platforms, to improve threat detection, accelerate response times, and reduce operational costs. Cloud-based security platforms are hosted solutions that protect networks, applications, and data from cyber threats while providing scalable, real-time monitoring, simplified management, remote access, and rapid updates without on-premises infrastructure. For instance, in March 2024, Exclusive Networks International SA, a France-based cybersecurity provider, launched Managed SOC as a Service in partnership with Palo Alto Networks, targeting EMEA partners. The service offers zero-risk, zero-investment access to SOC capabilities, enabling partners to deliver managed security services, scale operations efficiently, and generate recurring revenue. Key features include 24/7 threat detection, automated response workflows, integration with Palo Alto Networks technologies, and support for MSSP business expansion.
