The business mantra "employees are our number one asset" is true for many reasons. Including helping protect an organization from cyber threats.

From our experience, some “traditional” in-house, yet adequately resourced, Security Operations Centres (SOCs) can still provide a robust defense, while others struggle to stay on top of emerging threats.
