CYBER DEFENDERS
Lucid Technology Solutions ’ managing director Paul Alsop introduces a new service from the cyber defence experts
A new product from Lucid : Managed SOC
As far as jargon goes , ‘ SOC ’ has to be up there with one of those acronyms that could mean anything . But , true to our ethos of speaking in plain English , we ’ re here to explain .
A SOC is a ‘ security operations centre ’, which is fancy speak for a dedicated service providing 24 / 7 threat monitoring and visibility and response .
So , like cyber security but supercharged . Which is amazing , right ?
And it ’ s the newest service on the block from Lucid Technology Solutions .
Unless you have been living under a rock , you ’ ll be fully aware of just how business critical cyber security is , especially over the last few years , during which time cyber attacks have increased worldwide by seven per cent in quarter 1 , 2023 , compared to the same period last year , with each firm facing an average of 1,248 attacks per week , according to Infosecurity Magazine .
So why should you consider Managed SOC over ‘ regular ’ cyber security ? Despite significant investment into antivirus and firewall prevention solutions , cyber criminals continue to demonstrate that yesterday ’ s security is no match for today ’ s attack tactics and techniques . Which is a scary place to be .
Managed SOC enables 24 / 7 visibility across the three main areas vulnerable to attack – the endpoint ( your machines ), the network , and the cloud .
Secure – Lucid ’ s new managed SOC service can help protect businesses by providing an AIdriven security awareness solution .
This new service identifies malicious and suspicious activity that evades traditional cyber defences and delivers round-theclock monitoring to detect and respond to threats .
Who needs Managed SOC ? All businesses need to be particularly aware of cyber threats , but those in regulated industries such as solicitors , insurance brokers and financial advisors should pay extra attention .
And this is where Managed SOC can set you apart from the crowd – not just in terms of meeting your obligations and protecting both your business and your clients , but as a marketing tool , too .
Making it clear that you take security seriously .
The techy bit Without going overboard on the jargon ( which we hate !), the key things you need to know about our new managed SOC service is that it provides : > Comprehensive monitoring of those three key areas > Threat intelligence and hunting > Breach detection > Intrusion monitoring > NextGen malware
So , what ’ s the takeaway ? The human factor is the biggest cyber risk businesses face . All it takes is one careless employee or malicious insider to expose a business to serious cyber threats .
Lucid Technology Solutions ’ new managed SOC service , as well as its Lucidsecure service , can help protect businesses by providing an AI-driven security awareness solution that reduces one of the biggest risks to the security of your data .
