CYBERSECURITY

Managed Security Operations Center (SOC)

Cyber threats can develop at any hour, making it difficult for an internal IT team to watch every alert, investigate every anomaly, and respond to every potential incident. A managed security operations center (SOC) gives your organization access to dedicated cybersecurity expertise and continuous threat monitoring without requiring you to build and staff an entire SOC internally.

At Nexigen, we combine experienced security professionals, advanced technology, and continuous monitoring to help businesses identify suspicious activity and respond to threats more effectively.

About Our Managed Security Operations Center (SOC)

A Security Operations Center brings together people, processes, and technology to monitor an organization's digital environment for potential security threats. A managed SOC extends these capabilities through an external cybersecurity partner, giving businesses access to specialized resources without the expense and complexity of operating a full SOC in-house.

Our managed SOC services are designed to monitor security activity across your environment and identify signals that may indicate an attack. This can include activity involving endpoints, networks, identities, applications, and other technology resources.

Security information and event management (SIEM) technology can collect and correlate security data from multiple sources. Rather than treating every alert as an isolated event, security analysts can evaluate related activity to determine what may require investigation.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) adds another layer of visibility by monitoring endpoint activity for suspicious behavior. Nexigen also offers managed EDR, network detection and response, identity detection and response, vulnerability management, and other cybersecurity capabilities that can work alongside SOC operations.

A managed SOC can also play a role in incident response. When suspicious activity is identified, security professionals can investigate the event, determine its potential scope, and help your organization take appropriate action.

Benefits of Our Managed Security Operations Center (SOC)

Continuous Security Monitoring

Threats do not follow a business schedule. A managed SOC can monitor security activity around the clock, helping identify suspicious events that might otherwise go unnoticed outside normal working hours.

Access to Cybersecurity Expertise

Building an internal SOC requires security analysts, specialized technology, processes, and ongoing training. A managed approach gives your organization access to cybersecurity professionals without having to create every part of that operation internally.

Faster Threat Investigation

A large number of security alerts can make it difficult to determine which events deserve immediate attention. SOC analysts can investigate suspicious activity and correlate information from multiple sources to distinguish potential threats from routine events.

Greater Visibility Across Your Environment

Security information can come from endpoints, networks, cloud environments, applications, and other systems. Bringing these signals together can give your organization a more complete view of potential threats.

Stronger Incident Response

When a security event occurs, time matters. SOC capabilities can help your organization identify suspicious behavior and begin investigating an incident sooner, reducing opportunities for an attacker to move further through the environment.

Scalable Cybersecurity Operations

A managed SOC can give growing businesses access to advanced security capabilities without requiring them to build a large internal security operation. This can be particularly useful for organizations with limited cybersecurity staffing or expanding technology environments.
