Traditional MSSP SOCs are built for business needs, not patient care. So, while the core mission of any SOC appears the same (triage alerts, investigate threats, and escalate when needed), how your SOC responds within the context of your environment makes all the difference.
Join Fortified’s Preston Duren and Jake Bice as they unpack the value of real-time response capabilities, direct analyst access, and complete transparency, and share how to build or identify a SOC that truly supports care delivery.
What You’ll Learn
- Why traditional SOCs fall short in healthcare—and how to close the gap
- The must-have capabilities and actions for a modern healthcare SOC
- Building vs. outsourcing: how to make the right call
- Defining and measuring SOC success in leading healthcare organizations
