Why Nucleus’ Managed Security Services Includes a SOC

Any business leveraging the internet or cloud services is vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. Effectively protecting your small and medium-sized business (SMB) from today’s frequent, costly threats requires a multi-layered approach. A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a dedicated security team focused solely on safeguarding your business, sensitive data, and overall technology environment. Combined with leading Managed Security technology, AI + Machine Learning, it provides a robust “always-on” solution that can best defend your business from complex, ever-evolving threats. 
 
What is a SOC? 
 
A SOC provides businesses with both cybersecurity experts and technologies, working around the clock to identify, isolate and respond to threats against organizations. Rather than having to deal with these problems internally, many businesses choose to have a company manage their network. They constantly monitor activity and provide real-time notifications, comprehensive reviews, and global correlation.

Advanced threat intelligence technologies can proactively detect and escalate potential threats across your organization. But it takes trained professionals to analyze security alerts and remediate threats in a way no technology can. Key benefits of SOC include: 

• Expert 24/7/365 intelligent threat hunting, detection and response
  • Identification of attack details, actions and scope
  • Containment of the attack
  • Activation of mitigation actions including system rollback
• Industry compliance and audit reporting standards
• Cybersecurity insurance coverage criteria
• Global visibility
• Scalable: Subscription-based model
• Includes human component + Artificial Intelligence + Machine Learning

Of all cyber breaches, 46% impact businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees. -Verizon  

What makes a SOC different is people. A SOC provides dedicated protection by an organized workforce of trained industry-leading security professionals with a broad range of expertise. Cybercriminals don’t work normal hours. Attacks can hit at any time, and SOC services are ready when the time comes. Qualified, experienced SOC analysts work 24/7/365 to review incoming security alerts and take immediate action to isolate and remediate potential threats before they can cause significant damage.

Modern, effective threat protection is multi-layered. A strong defense against evolving cyber threats requires a Managed Security Service that includes a SOC. To learn more about our Managed Security Solution, visit: https://yournucleus.ca/services/cybersecurity-services/ or contact us.
