Cyber threats targeting healthcare organizations are at an all-time high, with ransomware, insider threats, medical device exploits, and data breaches putting patient data and hospital operations at risk. To defend against these threats, hospitals have traditionally relied on siloed security tools, which result in high costs, operational complexity, and slow response times.
This analysis compares the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over five years for:
✅ Seceon aiSIEM + aiXDR (Unified, AI-Driven Security Platform)
❌ Siloed Cybersecurity Stack (Multiple Best-of-Breed Security Tools)
🔹 Hospital Infrastructure & Security Needs
• 5,000+ staff members (Doctors, Nurses, IT, Admin, etc.)
• Hybrid IT environment (On-prem + Cloud for EHR, patient portals, IoT medical devices, etc.)
• Regulatory Compliance: HIPAA, NIST, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001
• Security Threats: Ransomware, insider threats, phishing, cloud security gaps, medical device vulnerabilities
• Operational Need: Scalable, real-time, AI-powered security to reduce cyber risks & compliance overhead
🔹 Cost Comparison: Seceon vs. Siloed Security Solutions
| Security Function | Seceon aiSIEM + aiXDR (Unified AI-Powered Security) | Siloed Security Stack (Best-of-Breed Tools) |
| SIEM (Log Management & Analytics) | ✅ Included | ❌ Splunk, QRadar, or Sumo Logic ($300K/year) |
| SOAR (Automated Incident Response) | ✅ Included | ❌ Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR or ServiceNow SecOps ($150K/year) |
| NDR (Network Detection & Response) | ✅ Included | ❌ Darktrace, ExtraHop, or Vectra AI ($200K/year) |
| EDR/XDR (Endpoint Security & Threat Detection) | ✅ Included | ❌ CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or Microsoft Defender ($250K/year) |
| UEBA (User & Entity Behavior Analytics) | ✅ Included | ❌ Requires add-ons in SIEM ($100K/year) |
| Threat Intelligence & Dark Web Monitoring | ✅ Included | ❌ Recorded Future, Anomali, or similar feeds ($75K/year) |
| Compliance Monitoring (HIPAA, NIST, PCI-DSS, etc.) | ✅ Included | ❌ Requires additional compliance tools ($100K/year) |
| Data Protection (DLP, Web Filtering, SaaS Security) | ✅ Included | ❌ Symantec DLP, McAfee Web Gateway, etc. ($150K/year) |
| Medical Device & IoT Security | ✅ Integrated with AI-driven anomaly detection | ❌ Requires separate IoT security solution ($100K/year) |
| Annual Licensing Cost | $300K – $400K (Flat rate, all-inclusive) | $1.3M – $1.5M (Multiple vendors, licenses, integrations) |
| Staffing & SOC Operations | ✅ Automated Threat Response → Reduces SOC costs by 30-40% | ❌ Requires larger SOC team for multiple tools (Extra $300K in staffing) |
| Infrastructure & Storage Costs | ✅ $210K (5-year infrastructure cost) | ❌ Multiple tools → High storage & compute costs ($1M – $1.5M) |
| Scalability | ✅ Scales horizontally for 10M+ EPS | ❌ Requires additional costs for scaling |
🔹 5-Year TCO Breakdown
| Category | Seceon aiSIEM + aiXDR | Siloed Security Stack |
| Software Licenses & Subscriptions | $1.5M – $2M | $6.5M – $7.5M |
| SOC Staffing & Operations | $2M | $3.5M – $4M |
| Infrastructure & Storage Costs | $210K | $1M – $1.5M |
| Total 5-Year TCO | $3.7M – $4.2M | $11M – $13M |
🔹 Key Takeaways: Why Seceon is the Smarter Choice for Hospitals?
✅ 60-70% Cost Savings – Eliminates redundant security tools, reducing overall spend.
✅ Faster Threat Detection & Response – AI-driven NDR + SIEM + SOAR + EDR detects threats in real-time, preventing breaches before they spread.
✅ Reduced Complexity – One integrated platform vs. managing multiple vendors, licenses, and integrations.
✅ Built-in Compliance (HIPAA, NIST, PCI-DSS, etc.) – Ensures regulatory adherence without extra tools.
✅ Scales for Large Healthcare Networks & MSSPs – Supports 10M+ EPS, 400K+ users, and multi-tier, multi-tenancy.
✅ Stronger ROI & Reduced Staffing Needs – Automated detection and response lowers SOC workload by 30-40%.
🔹 The Final Verdict: Seceon = More Security, Less Cost
💡 Hospitals don’t just need security—they need smarter, faster, and more cost-effective security. The traditional siloed approach is expensive, inefficient, and slow, leaving organizations vulnerable to ransomware, compliance failures, and operational disruptions.
Seceon’s AI-driven platform provides real-time, unified security at a fraction of the cost.
