California’s Innovative Cybersecurity Approach: Securing 40 Million Residents at Scale

Faced with limited budgets and staffing, California's agencies were challenged to manage an ever-growing attack surface. Traditional 24/7 Security Operations Centers (SOCs) proved too costly, making managed security solutions a necessity, yet difficult to outsource.

The Statewide Office of Information Security (OIS) launched SOCaaS (SOC-as-a-Service), an innovative, cloud-based monitoring and alerting system. By integrating Microsoft Security with BlueVoyant’s MDR for Microsoft, OIS provided cost-effective, high-quality cybersecurity services while eliminating the need for expensive infrastructure.
