It's essential to manage and reduce costs while still maintaining an effective security posture. XeneX helps reduce SOCaaS costs with the following strategies:

• Feedback Loop: Encourage feedback from internal teams and stakeholders to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of its services.

6. Vendor Evaluation:

8. Cost Transparency and Accountability:

It's crucial to strike a balance between cost reduction efforts and maintaining an adequate level of security that aligns with the organization's risk tolerance and business objectives.
