Outsourced SOC | Security Operations Centre

Security Operations Centre (SOC)

No matter the size of your company, the risk of cyber threats is something that you should take seriously.

As well as putting your data at risk, a security breach can lead to loss of earnings, reputation damage and significant downtime, all of which can be devastating to a small business.

It’s best to prepare for this eventuality before it happens instead of hoping that your organisation never comes under attack, or only dealing with the problem once it arises. Adequate prevention is the best way to minimise threats to your IT infrastructure.

What is a SOC?

A Security Operations Centre (SOC) monitors your organisation’s IT environment to detect malicious activity and ensure the safety of your data and digital assets.

This is particularly important if you run an online service for the public, share large quantities of sensitive data across several locations and organisations, or have identified an area of vulnerability within your existing security systems.

While larger organisations with strict security requirements may have an in-house SOC, smaller businesses may not immediately recognise the need. However, the present-day security landscape requires organisations of all sizes to take additional measures beyond the traditional basics to protect and monitor their IT infrastructures.

The key aims of a SOC service are to:

1. 1. Identify and respond to security threats
  2. Minimise disruption and reduce the impact of a breach
  3. Keep the organisation’s data secure across a range of networks
  4. Collect information about user behaviour to inform future security protocols

Why choose an outsourced SOC?

In order to provide the best security, a SOC should be continuously monitoring your environment, allowing for faster detection and containment of attacks. However, many smaller businesses lack the budget, staffing resources and infrastructure, leaving them vulnerable to cyber attacks.

By partnering with Conosco, your organisation will be able to call upon certified Security Analysts from both InfoSecurity and CyberSecurity without hiring expensive internal specialists on a full-time basis.

Outsourcing to us means that your data will be taken care of by security professionals with the expertise required to provide a rapid, effective threat response. We are Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 certified, so you can be sure that you’re in safe hands. Our SOC team is on hand to guide you through an incident, as well as assisting with your overall security strategy and ensuring good cyber hygiene for your business.
