Building a Security Operations Centre (SOC) Is Costly — But Protection Doesn’t Have to Be

As threats grow more sophisticated, many organisations realise they need more than just antivirus or endpoint software. They need a full-fledged Security Operations Centre (SOC) — a team monitoring, investigating, and responding to threats 24/7.
But let’s be honest: for most small to medium businesses and MSPs, hiring a SOC team is financially out of reach.
Fortunately, there’s another way.
Enter MDR: Managed Detection and Response
Bitdefender Secure Plus includes MDR — giving you all the benefits of a SOC team without having to build one yourself.
- 24/7 monitoring and incident response
- Threat containment and remediation
- Alerts handled by security experts
- Policy recommendations and tuning
You get enterprise-level defence, led by real humans, under a single monthly fee.
Ideal for MSPs and Lean IT Teams
If you’re running a lean IT operation or managing multiple clients as an MSP, Bitdefender’s MDR allows you to:
✅ Expand your service offering
✅ Improve client trust and retention
✅ Reduce internal ticket load
✅ Deliver expert-level defence instantly
All while keeping your overhead low.
What It Looks Like in Action
Let’s say a suspicious process launches on a client’s machine at 2am.
Without MDR:
- You won’t see it until morning
- You have to investigate, respond, and report
With MDR:
- Bitdefender’s SOC isolates the machine
- Stops the threat
- Documents the incident
- Emails you the summary
It’s security — handled for you.
