The average SMB with 40 endpoints pays for standalone antivirus, a managed firewall, annual pen tests, vulnerability scanning, dark web monitoring, and Cyber Essentials certification — all from different vendors, none of them talking to each other.
SOC in a Box replaces or surpasses every one of those line items with a single service, watched 24/7 by a named analyst backed by eight years of AI. The maths aren't close.
