SOC and SIEM_
Get constant protection against cyber threats with always-on monitoring that enables you to address emerging dangers before they take hold.
What is SOC and SIEM?
A Security Operations Centre (SOC) is a centralised unit within an organisation, responsible for monitoring, detecting and responding to cyber security threats. SOC analysts use various tools and technologies to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks, ensuring the protection of critical systems and data.
A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system is a software platform that collects, analyses and correlates security-related data from various sources across your IT infrastructure. SIEM solutions enable security teams to gain real-time visibility into potential threats, identify anomalies and respond to incidents effectively.
SOCs and SIEMs work together to enhance your cyber security posture. The SIEM provides the data and insights necessary for SOC analysts to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions. By combining human expertise with advanced technology, you can actively defend against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
