Your Challenges

Increasing Cyber Threats and Attacks

The volume and sophistication of cyber threats are continuously growing, including malware, ransomware, phishing attacks, and advanced persistent threats (APTs).

Lack of In-House Expertise

Many organisations do not have the specialised cybersecurity expertise or the resources to build and maintain an effective internal security team or SOC service.

Compliance and Regulations

Businesses must comply with various industry regulations and standards (such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) that mandate stringent security measures and continuous monitoring.

What is the SOC?

Our ISO27001-certified Security Operations Centre (SOC) consists of a certified team of experts that provide 24/7 monitoring of your organisation’s networks and endpoints, seamlessly integrating with your current systems to actively detect vulnerabilities, intrusions, or anomalous activity in real time. When an incident is identified, the team immediately give actionable advice to your IT staff or outsourced MSP, which ensures the quickest response times to mitigate cyber threats.

Utilising our real-time Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system, we quickly identify potential threats and collaborate with your internal team to mitigate and prevent cyber security incidents.

Some Stats:

- Our SOC receives 1.5 Billion logs every month

- Monitoring 70000 Managed devices

Why is a SOC important?

Continuous Threat Monitoring

A SOC offers continuous monitoring and advanced threat detection, enabling quick identification and response to cyber threats, thereby reducing the risk of data breaches and other security incidents.

Expert Cyber Security Management

Utilising a SOC gives businesses access to skilled cyber security professionals who manage and monitor security operations, providing expertise that is often too difficult and costly to develop internally.

Regulatory Compliance Support

A SOC ensures compliance by implementing security controls, conducting regular audits, and providing necessary documentation to meet regulatory requirements, helping businesses avoid penalties and legal issues.

  • Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) is a platform that provides real-time analysis of security alerts and improves threat detection and response capabilities. For optimal minimisation of risk, the SIEM software integrates and combines host-based and network-based security event data and log files into one overview by a powerful correlation engine. It finds weak spots in your infrastructure and detects anomalies on your network so that threats can be prevented or mitigated.

  • PureCyber’s managed SIEM solution is deployed via both agent and sensor. The agent is installed to collect vital security detail of devices no matter where they are and provides data such as vulnerabilities, file integrity and security incidents. While the sensor is deployed onto the network to monitor activity at a packet level.

     Cloud services such as AWS, Azure and Microsoft 365 are monitored at an API level and fed directly into the SIEM, while instances can also have an additional level of monitoring using the agent deployment as well.
