According to the iSOC India Overview page, iSOC is "the leading provider of predictive security intelligence solutions for enterprises and government organizations." The company's domain was created in December, 2011. Apparently, iSOC being late to the security game prompted them to take shortcuts. Specifically, they plagiarized a majority of their web site content from other sources. All of their security offerings appear to be taken verbatim from a wide variety of other sources, including other security companies. Even their 'Overview' page is taken from another security company and fails to remove the company's name:

The iSOC "Contact Us" page lists their "Global Business Center" at 260 Madison Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New York, 10016, which is a well-known virtual office used by many to present a vanity address in New York city.
The following table details a brief sampling of 10 web pages examined for plagiarism and copyright infringement. Both the iSOC page and original article are provided. As expected, their entire site is branded with their own copyright at the bottom of each page. This is willful infringement of copyright and inexcusable plagiarism.
