You may have read my recent article about SOC services ... What are SOC Services (& Do You Need them)?

SOC Services (Security Operations Centre) are emerging as a Must Have for organisations that take their IT security seriously.

SOC’s play a critical role in protecting organisations from malicious cyber actors.  They are more specialist and have access to more advanced technology and information sources than most organisations could normally achieve inhouse, or via their normal IT service provider.

Previously, I gave a brief overview of SOC services generally but now I’m going to take you on a deeper dive into the detail of the matter.

A SOC team, specifically our SOC team, are a group of highly trained cyber security specialists who undertake a range of security operations such as Penetration Testing (Pen Test), Security Posture Assessment, Network Detection & Response, Incident Response, etc.. They also manage our InterGuard service which is a comprehensive package including:

• 24x7 monitoring for threats

• Firewall management

• Patch management

• Security audits

• Incident response

• 24x7 login monitoring and management

• Intrusion detection/prevention

• Vulnerability scanning

• Encryption

• Endpoint security

• Phishing & malware detection

• Dark web monitoring

• Password policy/management

• System remediation (where possible)

SOC services are crucial for protecting an organization’s digital assets and ensuring that it can respond quickly and effectively to security threats. These services are especially important in today’s digital environment where cyber threats are constantly evolving.
