Managed SOC & SIEM Services

Managed Security Operations Centre services to help prevent, detect and respond to cyber threats: A comprehensive security solution for your business.

What is SOC & SIEM?

Security Operations Center (SOC) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) are crucial components in the defence against cyber threats.

A SOC is a centralised unit that deals with security issues on an organisational and technical level. It houses the expertise and tools required to monitor, analyse, and react to cybersecurity incidents.

On the other hand, SIEM software provides the necessary framework for tracking and analysing security data in real time. This technology aggregates and examines log data, security alerts, and events from numerous sources to identify malicious activities and manage threats effectively.

The Importance of SOC/SIEM

In modern times, the importance of SOC and SIEM systems cannot be overstated. These systems are vital for detecting, analysing, and responding to cybersecurity incidents, which can help prevent data breaches and other security threats. For businesses, the deployment of SOC and SIEM means enhanced visibility into security systems, ensuring that any potential threats are identified and mitigated before they can cause harm.

Threat Detection

SOC/SIEM systems provide real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware.

Improved Security Posture

By continually monitoring and analysing security data, organisations can maintain a strong defence against cyber threats.

Regulatory Compliance

Many industries and certifications (such as ISO 27001) require companies to maintain rigorous data security measures. SOC and SIEM help ensure compliance with these regulations, avoiding the potential for legal and financial penalties.

Incident Response

In the event of a security breach, a well-equipped SOC can swiftly mobilise to mitigate damages, using SIEM tools to track and manage the incident effectively.

Why use our Managed SOC Service?

In the complex landscape of cybersecurity, maintaining an in-house SOC can be a resource-intensive endeavour that demands constant technological upgrades and skilled personnel.

Cost Efficiency

Setting up and maintaining an in-house SOC requires significant capital investment — from acquiring the right technologies to hiring experienced analysts and continuously training them. A managed SOC service provides the same level of expertise and capability but at a fraction of the cost. This allows businesses, especially small to medium-sized enterprises, to have access to top-tier security without the heavy financial burden.

Access to Expertise

Cybersecurity is a field that evolves rapidly, and keeping up can be daunting. Our SOC team are specialists in the field who are continually trained in the latest security practices and technologies. This expertise ensures that your cybersecurity defences are always at the cutting edge, managed by professionals who understand the intricacies of threat detection and response.

Scalability

As your business grows, so too will your security needs. Our SOC offering can scale quickly to match the pace of your growth without the typical delays associated with scaling in-house operations. Whether you need to increase monitoring capabilities or expand to new geographic locations, our managed service can accommodate these changes efficiently.

Focus on Core Business Functions

By outsourcing your SOC operations, your in-house IT team can focus on driving core business initiatives instead of being sidetracked by complex cybersecurity threats. This division of labour ensures that your business operations run smoothly, with your internal resources optimised and focused on growth and innovation.

Proactive Threat Management

Managed SOC services are not just about dealing with threats as they occur but also about proactive management. This includes regular vulnerability assessments, threat hunting, and the implementation of preventive measures to ensure that potential security incidents are mitigated before they can cause any harm.

Enhanced Compliance

With increasing regulatory requirements around data security, compliance can be a major challenge for many organisations. Managed SOC services help ensure that your organisation meets these requirements, with regular updates made to security processes and measures in line with changing regulations.

24/7 Monitoring and Support

Cyber threats do not adhere to a 9-to-5 schedule; they can occur at any time of the day or night. A managed SOC service provides around-the-clock monitoring and response, ensuring that any potential security incidents are addressed immediately, no matter when they occur.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a SOC monitor?

A SOC monitors all security-related data within an organisation. This includes network traffic, user activity, server and firewall logs, and application outputs. The ultimate goal of a security operations centre is to gain a comprehensive view of the security landscape to detect anomalies and potential threats before they have a business impact.

How does SIEM help in compliance?

Security information and event management systems support compliance by providing the tools necessary to gather, analyse, and report security data that regulators require. This includes ensuring that data is handled securely and accessed appropriately, features that are often mandated across various regulatory frameworks.

Can small businesses benefit from SOC and SIEM?

Absolutely. While traditionally seen as solutions for large enterprises, the rise in cyber threats has made it clear that businesses of all sizes are at risk. Managed SOC and SIEM services make these advanced security measures accessible to smaller businesses without the need for large capital investments. This is especially important for industries that handle highly sensitive data, such as finance, research, politics, infrastructure or healthcare.

How are false positives handled in SOC/SIEM systems?

Our SOC team uses advanced artificial intelligence & machine learning, analytics and contextual information to distinguish false positives from genuine threats, ensuring that your security resources are focused on real problems. This refinement process is integral to maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of your SOC operations.
