Information Security Operations Centre (SOC)

The more time an attacker spends undetected within your systems, the more likely they are to inflict serious damage, data loss, significant downtime, and higher recovery costs.

An effective threat detection solution enables your organization to protect itself from cyber-attacks because it continuously monitors your network, systems and apps for suspicious activity and will take rapid and appropriate action to mitigate any potential threats.

The goal of threat detection and response is to identify potential threats and neutralize them as early as possible, and before any significant damage is done by threat actors.

You need highly skilled technical staff working 24 x 7 x 365, a culture of security, and well-defined processes and procedures that are regularly tested and updated to stay ahead of an evolving cyber threat landscape.

This is the responsibility of the Information Security Operations Centre or SOC. Its mission is to detect, analyse and respond to security incidents in real-time.

The main benefit of outsourcing a SOC to a third-party provider is that it unifies and coordinates an organization’s security system, including its security tools, practices and response to security incidents.

This results in improved preventative measures and security policies, faster threat detection and more cost-effective response to security threats.

The SOC will also incorporate a Security information and Event Management security solution or Artificial intelligence (AI) is used to automate many of the manual processes associated with threat detection and incident response.

A SIEM is basically the brain of the SOC … think of HAL 9000, the fictional computer in the movie Space Odessey 2001.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) / Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Our state-of-the-art SOC 24-hour monitoring service provides a comprehensive MDR and EDR solution that involves an agent installed on all systems and endpoints. This service ensures continuous, real-time monitoring of your environment by cyber security professionals.

Operating 24 / 7, the SOC team is equipped to detect, analyse, and respond to any security events or anomalies immediately. The EDR component focuses on endpoint security, detecting and investigating suspicious activities on network devices, while MDR provides a broader scope of threat management and response capabilities.

This proactive monitoring and response service helps maintain the security integrity of your environment, ensuring rapid detection and mitigation of threats to minimize potential disruptions and protect sensitive data.
